Railroad Workers United is hosting a Spring 2022 Raffle! While the majority of RWU's funding comes from annual membership dues and the support of our generous sustaining members, our raffle, annual fundraising drive, and sale of solidarity merchandise in our online store provide crucial supplemental support.
Proceeds from this year's raffle will help offset costs related to hosting our RWU Convention - a vital worker education opportunity for railroaders scheduled for June 16 - 19 in Chicago in conjunction with the Labor Notes Conference, the biggest gathering of grassroots union activists, worker center leaders, and all (good) troublemakers in the U.S.
We invite all railroad workers and RWU members and allies to buy one or more raffle tickets to help us in our efforts! View details of the raffle prizes in the column at the right and buy your tickets by scrolling the the bottom of this page! RWU Logo.jpg89.77 KB
