Norfolk Southern and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen on Friday reached a new collective bargaining agreement that continues to link engineer compensation to corporate performance through 2019, the Norfolk, Va.-based railroad said.
The agreement, which covers about 4,600 union members, provides engineers with an annual bonus based on the railroad’s performance and for the first time includes individual incentives based on personal performance. The agreement also includes changes to engineer work scheduling, which will “help ensure that NS has a more stable and available workforce while providing employees with more predictable schedules,” the railroad said.
