The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) General Chairmen, representing members at Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:NSC), criticized CEO Alan Shaw for his attacks on labor discussions, labeling them as unfounded and desperate. They accused Shaw of misrepresenting discussions with Ancora nominees and the record of Jim Barber, an Ancora nominee with a positive history of union relations at UPS. The BLET leaders, who initially supported Shaw, have shifted their support to Ancora and its nominees due to Shaw's inconsistent strategies and attacks on labor.
