WTDEA WYOMING TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION

We are looking for employees to join us in our fellowship

You can become involved by signing up with your local District chapter, attending meetings, joining the board of officers and participating in planning events and fundraisers that can help keep all of our employees connected. The more members we have that are willing to step up – the further our mission can spread.

The WTDEA was founded in 1956 with a primary purpose of encouraging harmony, promoting employee morale and serving as a liaison between employees and staff.

From WYDOT employees’ ideas and suggestions, WTDEA has facilitated department policies and changes such as:

• Sick Leave Donations

• Military Leave

• Employee recognition programs

• Changes to hardhat policy

• WYDOT Employee Relief Fund

• Maintenance equipment safety upgrades

District 3 snow maintainers – lifesavers

I am unsure which department actually takes care of the highway between Kemmerer and Cokeville, or I would reach out directly to them.

I cannot thank them enough for the great care they have taken to clear the road and make sure it is widened. If they would not have done such a great job, I potentially could not even be writing this email right now. Due to a near-miss head on collision, I had swerved all the way into to the snow berm, which was on the edge of the shoulder.

Thank you guys so much for the pride and care you took in your job, as you have saved me and my two children’s lives last night.

We strive to maintain and improve morale in the department by hosting events to create an atmosphere of harmony and friendship among employees. We also promote fundraisers to maintain the WYDOT Employee Relief Fund, helping our employees in times of unexpected circumstances. We also hold fundraisers to fund WTDEA Scholarships awarded to undergraduate students throughout the state.
