Norfolk Southern reaches collective bargaining agreements with four labor unions

Norfolk Southern, in partnership with BNSF Railway, has reached tentative, five-year collective bargaining agreements with the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen Division/TCU, or BRC, the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers – Mechanical Department, or SMART-MD, and the Transportation Communications Union/IAM, or TCU. Norfolk Southern also has reached tentative agreements with multiple General Committees for the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers – Transportation Division, or SMART-TD. The agreements, which are subject to ratification, cover approximately 30% of Norfolk Southern’s union workforce and come four months before the opening of the next collective bargaining round, giving covered employees unprecedented certainty about upcoming enhancements to their pay, health care, and vacation. The tentative agreements provide a 3.5% average wage increase per year over the next five years. They also offer railroaders more vacation earlier in their career and make enhancements to health care benefits.
