Fort Worth-based BNSF Railway will give hotly contested sick days and work schedule improvements to 7,500 union workers after coming to a contract agreement...
Despite having paid time off, railroad workers have been fighting for dedicated time off after they say that cutbacks across the industry have made it difficult to miss work without discipline. The new deal lets employees take days off without penalty.
BNSF Railway, formerly known as Burlington Northern Santa Fe, has now come to paid sick leave agreements with 11 of its 12 unions.Last fall, a coalition of railroad workers threatened an industry-wide strike over working conditions, pay and other issues after union leaders complained that staffing cutbacks were straining workers, requiring railroads to force more overtime and generally making it difficult for employees to balance work with life and family.
