IAM District 19 Reaches Tentative Agreement with National Carriers’ Conference Committee Rail Carriers

Richmond, Virginia-based IAM District 19 has reached a tentative agreement with the National Carriers’ Conference Committee (NCCC) covering roughly 4,900 freight rail members.

The NCCC tentative agreement covers IAM members at BNSF, Norfolk Southern, Canadian National, Belt Railway, Terminal Rail, Consolidated Rail, Indiana Harbor Belt, New Orleans Public Belt, and Palmetto Railways.

“Our membership asked us to stand strong for a contract that includes no takeaways and makes improvements to pay, vacation and healthcare – and that’s exactly what we’ve delivered,” IAM District 19 President and Directing General Chair Reece Murtagh said in a statement. “We strongly recommend acceptance of this agreement.”

This historic tentative agreement ensures members receive their first pay increase on time and as scheduled.

Members will soon receive more information on the tentative agreement. An electronic ratification vote will occur between Friday, April 25, and Wednesday, April 30.
