CSX and BRS reach agreement on paid sick leave

CSX Corporation (NASDAQ: CSX) is pleased to announce the ratification of a paid sick leave agreement with the SCL property for the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen covering nearly 400 employees.

The agreement underscores CSX's commitment to the welfare and well-being of its workforce. It provides a sick leave package that ensures employees can take necessary time off from work to recover from illness without worrying about their financial stability.

The new agreement builds on CSX's recent series of successful negotiations with various railroad unions. This includes agreements reached earlier this year with the BMWED, BRC, SMART-TD, IAM, NCFO and IBEW unions, providing paid sick leave for thousands of railroad workers across the country.

CSX President and CEO Joe Hinrichs said, “We value the hard work and dedication of the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen and all our employees who keep our operations running smoothly. This agreement reflects our ongoing commitment to improving the employee experience, ensuring our team members have the support they need.”

SCL General Chairman Gus Demott said, “Our union worked long and hard within the collective bargaining process to secure paid sick leave for our members and to ensure that the benefits are tailored to the needs of signalmen and their particular working conditions.”

The ratification of this agreement reinforces CSX's position as an employer of choice in the rail industry, fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment that prioritizes employee welfare. CSX continues to work toward additional agreements in collaboration with its union partners.
