TWU's Railroad Division is pleased to announce that it has reached a tentative agreement with Amtrak for its ASWC (On-Board Service) members on Amtrak. The agreement was bargained jointly with ASWC member Unions TCU and HERE.
Commenting on the agreement, TWU Railroad Division Director Gary Maslanka stated:
"It is an excellent 5-year agreement that brings our ASWC members what they deserve: solid wage increases without delay."
Less than a month ago the Railroad Division reached a tentative agreement that entails the same economic elements as the ASWC tentative agreement. That agreement is currently out before the membership for a ratification vote.
Later this week the TWU will be releasing more details on the ASWC agreement.
