The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Union Pacific Railroad reached an agreement that guarantees job security for union employees after Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern merge to build America’s first coast-to-coast railroad.
The IBB is the latest union to reach an agreement with Union Pacific that ensures employees employed by both Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern at the time of the merger will have job security for life, subject to the usual requirements for continued employment.
IBB is the fourth national union to reach an agreement with Union Pacific, guaranteeing job protection for its members. The other three unions are the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation workers – Transportation Division, the National Conference of Firemen and Oilers and the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen.
