JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CSX (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced it has secured new five-year tentative collective bargaining agreements with International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers & Helpers (IBB) and the Transportation Communications Union (TCU).
“The latest tentative agreements build upon the momentum that we have created alongside our union partners and allows us to solidify the foundation at CSX where every employee feels valued and empowered,” said Joe Hinrichs, president and chief executive officer. “Our employees are the backbone of our company, and their dedication and hard work are critical to our ability to deliver on our promises to our customers and the communities we serve.”
The tentative agreements, which are pending ratification by the unions’ membership at CSX, were reached more than four months before the current collective agreements become amendable under the federal Railway Labor Act.
To date, CSX has reached proactive agreements with 11 labor unions, covering 15 different work groups, amending 20 collective agreements covering more than 50 percent of its unionized workforce. The terms of the agreements are aligned, providing equivalent packages of improved wages, health care, and paid time off benefits.
CSX remains committed to working with other unions and crafts to reach similar agreements over the coming days and continuing to partner with employees to make meaningful improvements in their work environment.
