CSX Corporation announced on June 11, 2025, that employees represented by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) have voted to ratify a five-year collective bargaining agreement. This agreement covers approximately 3,400 locomotive engineers.
This ratification marks the first such agreement reached by a Class I freight railroad with BLET, underscoring the value of the partnership and commitment to improving the daily experience for locomotive engineers. The agreement mirrors general wage increases and health and welfare improvements from CSX's agreements with 13 other unions.
With this ratification, nearly 75% of CSX's unionized workers are now covered by new agreements reached within the last 10 months. The only remaining major workgroup at CSX not covered by new agreements or a tentative agreement are trainmen/conductors represented by SMART-TD.
