JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – February 10, 2023 – CSX (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced that it has reached an agreement with two additional railroad unions to provide paid sick leave to its employees. 

The agreements were reached with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), which represents railroad machinists, and the National Conference of Firemen and Oilers (NCFO), which represents the company’s utility workers. 

The new contracts are demonstrative of CSX’s commitment to continue working with its employees and their representatives to improve the work experience of its employees.

We have a great respect for the work they do in service to our customers and the nation, and we will continue to partner with them and their representatives to ensure they have the best possible employment experience with our railroad.
