A tentative agreement was reached in August 2024.
CSX said it has ratified agreements with 11 labor unions to date, covering 14 different work groups, accounting for 47% of its unionized workforce. The terms of the agreements are aligned, providing equivalent packages of “improved wages, health care, and paid time off benefits.” The most recent ratification at the Class I was by the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in January.
The Class I said it “remains committed to working with other unions and crafts to reach similar agreements and continuing to partner with employees to make meaningful improvements in their work environment.”
“IAM’s ratification is a testament to the strength of our partnership with union leadership,” said Joe Hinrichs, President and CEO of CSX and Railway Age’s 2025 Railroader of the Year. “This underscores our commitment to fostering a workplace where every employee feels valued and respected. Together, as ONE CSX, we will continue enhancing safety, efficiency, and service to secure sustained growth.”
