The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers has reached a new five-year tentative collective bargaining agreement with the National Carrier’s Conference Committee (NCCC).
“This new agreement reflects the IBEW’s commitment to ensuring that jobs in the freight rail industry are good jobs that provide economic security for our members and their families,” said IBEW International President Kenneth W. Cooper. “Thanks to the hard work of railroad members, we are winning stronger contracts that recognize the value they bring to the nation.”
The tentative agreement has terms comparable to the ones that IBEW ratified with BNSF and CSX last month. These include:
The IBEW represents approximately 3,500 workers with the Freight Carriers.
The agreement is subject to a ratification vote by the members covered.
