We had a legal battle with the Railroad Retirement system here at White Pass over coverage under the system. Two years ago the Railroad Retirement system sent a letter to the railroad saying they determined we were no longer a carrier under their definition, being only tourist, and no longer qualified to remain in the system. As a result, they dropped us from coverage.
Efforts of Teamsters union, representing the shops and MOW, and the UTU, representing T&E, culminated in a review and reversal of the decision by the Railroad Retirement Board. Employees pointed to the numbers of canoes, kayaks, dogs, and backpacks transported for hikers; equipment carried in to Bennett for Parks Canada; equipment carried up to AP&T's hydro project at Goat Lake. But the primary turning point was the number of through passengers going up across the border to Fraser and conenecting by motorcoach to continue their journey into Canada (or doing the reverse).
We were subsequently credited for the months we worked while dropped from the system, then later reinstated.
