FORT WORTH, Texas – BNSF Railway has reached a paid sick time agreement with the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, the railroad announced today.
BNSF said the deal was part of larger ongoing discussions about modernizing the work environment.
Seven of BNSF’s 12 labor unions are now covered by paid sick leave agreements.
Building upon existing BNSF paid time off and sickness benefits, IBB members will receive an additional four paid days off to use as sick days and gain the ability to convert up to three personal leave days to sick days each year.
BNSF says it remains committed to continued dialogue, including the potential addition of paid sick days for those crafts that did not already have individual paid sick days prior to the recent national bargaining round.
