Bob Keeley
General Chairperson GO-342,, Delegate LCA-1951
Bob Keeley began his railroad career in 1983 as a Baggageman for Amtrak in New York City's Pennsylvania
Station. After working in many different positions protected by what eventually became TCU, he applied for
and accepted a promotion to Yardmaster in 1995.
Having been raised in a family that appreciates the value of organized labor, Bob was always a
vocal union member in good standing. He sought his first Union position over a decade ago and
in 1998 he was elected to represent Amtrak Yardmasters in NYC and Albany as Vice-Local Chairperson, and
then became Local Chairperson in 1999. Bob was elected to Vice General Chairperson
in 2000 and, in 2005, he was elected to the position of General Chairperson GCA-342 and the LCA-1951
Delegate in 2007.
Every position within the Union has served to further Bob's education as an effective
Labor Representative. He has enjoyed learning from and working with many other professional Union Representatives
at all levels of service with this, our proud Union, as well as other Organizations. However, nothing has given Bob
more pleasure nor greater honor then the opportunity to serve and represent the Yardmasters and Mechanical Supervisors
(Foremen) on Amtrak, Conrail, CSXT and CPR/D&H. This committee understands the importance of protecting and
advancing our collective agreements and promoting the labor movement. To that end, Bob looks forward to working with all his
Union brothers and sisters well into the future.
