CSX Corporation (CSX - Free Report) announced that it has entered into an agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). This deal, being the seventh one between CSX and rail unions in recent weeks, aims at offering paid sick leave to employees. The deal covers almost 7,700 or 46% of CSX’s union-represented workforce.

Such deals reflect CSX’s employee-friendly attitude through which it tries to maintain cordial relations with its employees and the unions representing them, thereby providing a healthy work atmosphere at CSX.
Joe Hinrichs, president and chief executive officer of CSX, stated, “We are pleased by the progress we are making to improve the dialogue and strengthen relationships with rail labor.” He further added, “This newest agreement, with the IBEW, is a continuation of the spirit of cooperation that we are committed to pursuing as we work together to improve the employee work experience, enhance the safety of our operations, and grow the business.”
