IAM District 19 has reached a new tentative agreement with CSX covering approximately 750 system mechanical and roadway mechanic members at the carrier.
The new agreement builds on a deal reached last fall, with improvements in bereavement leave and the ability to save unused sick days, among other revisions.
“We are incredibly proud of District 19 for standing strong at the negotiating table on behalf of our membership at CSX,” said Josh Hartford, IAM Special Assistant to the International President for the IAM Rail Division. “We look forward to rolling out this agreement and meeting with members to answer any and all questions.”
“This agreement secures a strong wage and benefits package without concessions,” said IAM District 19 President and Directing General Chair Reece Murtagh. “Negotiating with CSX on property allowed us to address key issues important to our members, such as negotiating a 4-10 agreement for Regional Roadway Mechanics and protecting daily inspection work at major locomotive shops across the system.”
More details on the agreement will be released to members soon. Please contact your General Chair with any additional questions.
