The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division (BMWED-IBT) reached a Tentative Agreement Wednesday with the freight railroads represented by the National Carriers' Conference Committee (NCCC).
CSX railroad workers represented by the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division (BMWED) of the Teamsters Rail Conference have ratified a new five-year contract by a 2 to 1 margin.
The BMWED and the National Carriers Conference Committee met this week for negotiations as part of National Bargaining with most of the Class I freights. Though it is always welcomed to sit across the table in person, we remain in talks and plan to meet again after the new year.
The BMWED and CSX reached a tentative agreement this week that builds on the contract based upon feedback we received from members during the initial ratification process that failed earlier this year.
We believe that this tentative agreement addresses many of the complications related to work rules on the property, raises wages above those in comparable industries and improves vacation and health benefits without increasing cost to BMWED members.
The BMWED-IBT received notice today from the National Railway Labor Conference and those rail carriers negotiating together under the National Carriers’ Conference Committee (NCCC) initiating National Bargaining pursuant to Section 6 of the Railway Labor Act. The Brotherhood will respond in kind with its own Section 6 notice addressed to the individual railroads Monday, officially initiating the next bargaining round.
BMWED members on Norfolk Southern ratified a collectively bargained agreement on their property, while members on CSX rejected a tentative agreement in separate votes Oct. 14.
The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way (BMWED) and Norfolk Southern successfully have tentatively agreed to a collectively bargained agreement ahead of the upcoming November moratorium.
