CSX Reaches Deals with Signalmen, Boilermakers

[ May 1, 2025   //   ]

Class-I railroad CSX Corp said April 30 it has secured ratification of new five-year collective bargaining agreements with the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen, or BRS, and the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Forgers & Helpers, or IBB.

“Ratifying these agreements reflects the trust we’ve built with union leadership and our shared commitment to the people who keep our company running,” said Joe Hinrichs, President and CEO of CSX. “Our focus continues to be on improving safety, efficiency, and service for our customers while building a stronger, more unified ONE CSX.”

To date, CSX has ratified agreements with 13 labor unions, covering 16 different work groups, accounting for 54 percent of its unionized workforce. The terms of the agreements are aligned, providing equivalent packages of improved wages, health care, and paid time off benefits.

CSX said remains committed to working with the two remaining national rail unions representing Trainmen/Conductors and Locomotive Engineers to reach similar agreements and continuing to partner with employees to make meaningful improvements in their work environment.
