Norfolk Southern Corp. on Tuesday said it reached agreements
with two more of its labor unions to provide up to seven paid sick
days a year to their members.
The railroad operator said the agreements, reached with the
International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and
the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, covers more than 1,350 employees
and will immediately provide four additional days of paid sick
leave a year, and will let workers use up to three additional days
of existing paid time off as sick leave.
Eight of Norfolk Southern's 12 unions have now locally
negotiated paid sick days with these new agreements, the company
said.
Norfolk Southern has faced intense scrutiny following a train
derailment that led to the spill of toxic chemicals in the town of
East Palestine, Ohio in February. The company has said it will
spend whatever it takes to reimburse residents and clean up the
town.
