Spring 2026 Shop Worker Pick

I have a bad feeling that the Shop Worker's Pick will be late again. So to get it jump-started, I sent the following to the upper-level managers for the Rail Equipment Maintenance department on February 3rd:

I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits. As per Article 14.4(a), we [are] due to have the first of a twice-yearly Section Pick in March. The starting point is based on the contractual System Pick date of March 1st as written in Article 14.4(b). So as this March quickly approaches, it would benefit the morale of the Shop Workers to have a Pick in force as of March 1st. Establishing it on-time will be of great benefit to management and the workers. Thank you for your attention to this friendly reminder. 

As of February 8th, I have received no response. So I am informing the members. Updates will be posted here. Pick information from the previous picks are below:
