Effective April 1, 2025, TCU/IAM Industry Relations Executive Director Allison Parker began serving as the Labor Chair for the National Railroad Adjustment Board (NRAB). The NRAB is an arm of the National Mediation Board (NMB) and is crucial in resolving discipline and rule grievances on practically every rail carrier in the United States.
Parker has more than 20 years of experience in the TCU/IAM Industry Relations department, which is responsible for assisting TCU/IAM representatives at every level with cases for arbitration.
Parker also serves as an employee advocate on various Public Law Boards and Special Boards of Adjustment and has previously served as the employee member on both the third and fourth divisions of the NRAB. The position of Labor Chair is elected by the union leaders from all of Rail Labor.
TCU/IAM and the IAM Rail Division are proud of the work Parker does in representing our members through arbitration. We know she will bring that same passion and skill to the position of NRAB Labor Chair.
“Allison is a wealth of knowledge and experience in arbitration,” said TCU/IAM National President Artie Maratea. “Her knowledge of the NMB processes, her experience as a member advocate, and her success in the arbitration arena are common knowledge for us at TCU. It is nice to see other labor organizations recognize that as well. I’m very proud of her and know she will do a great job.”
