CSX (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced that it has reached agreements
with two unions that provide paid sick leave for approximately
5,000 railroad workers.
The agreements were reached with the Brotherhood of Maintenance

Brotherhood of Railway Carmen (BRC), representing mechanical
workers.
Joe Hinrichs, president and chief executive officer of CSX
stated, “CSX is committed to listening to our railroaders and
working with their representatives to find solutions that improve
their quality of life and experience as employees. These agreements
demonstrate that commitment and are a direct result of the
collaborative relationship we are working to cultivate with all of
the unions that represent CSX employees. We greatly appreciate the
leadership of the BMWED and BRC in working towards these
agreements.”
Nearly 4,000 BMWED and over 1,000 BRC workers are employed with
CSX. The company has great respect for the work performed by its
front-line employees to provide safe, reliable rail service for the
nation, and will continue to pursue similar agreements with its
remaining unions.
