May 22 2023 - 4:24PM
CSX Corp. (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced that it has reached a
tentative agreement with the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and
Transportation Workers-Transportation Division CSRA (SMART-TD CSRA)
to provide paid sick leave benefits. SMART-TD CSRA represents
trainmen, conductors and yardmen on territories of the former
A&WP, WSSB, L&N, NC&STL and SCL railroads.
The SMART-TD CSRA agreement, which is pending ratification by
union members, marks the 10th such agreement CSX has reached with
its union-represented employees since February. A majority of the
company’s unionized workers now have paid sick leave benefits.
“The constructive cooperation that has enabled this initiative
to move forward is a credit to the willingness of our union
organizations to engage with CSX and recognize the sincere effort
we are making to improve the work experience for our front-line
employees,” said Joe Hinrichs, CSX president and chief executive
officer. “We will continue to work toward additional agreements as
we listen to our employees and collaborate on solutions that
benefit everyone who wants to see our railroad grow.”
