Norfolk Southern

Union Pacific (UNP) and the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers (IBB) reached a labor agreement ensuring job security for boilermakers amidst the proposed merger with Norfolk Southern, which aims to create the first coast-to-coast rail network in the U.S. This is the fourth such agreement UNP has secured with national unions, signaling growing confidence in the merger’s potential benefits. The deal seeks to mitigate potential labor disruptions and establish a more efficient and resilient supply chain, benefiting employees, customers, and the American economy. Analysts predict this move will optimize freight transportation.
