Following the historic wage increases and premium health care benefits reached during last year’s national bargaining, Norfolk Southern Corporation announced Wednesday that it has reached an agreement with one of its largest labor unions that provides their members the ability to take up to seven paid sick days per year. The new sick leave benefit, reached in collaboration with the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, is available to approximately 3,000 railroaders who maintain the company’s track and infrastructure.
