The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Union Pacific Railroad (UNP) reached an agreement that “guarantees job security for union employees after Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern (NSC) merge to build America’s first coast-to-coast railroad,” the parties stated. “The Boilermakers union looks forward to continued collaboration with Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern as this merger advances,” said Timothy Simmons, IBB president. “We believe the commitments already in place – and the shared understanding reflected in our agreement – lay the groundwork for a stronger, more resilient and more opportunity-rich future for every union Boilermaker serving the railroad industry.”
