- Share via
CHICAGO — Railroad workers have ratified an agreement with the Santa Fe Railway that authorizes a reduction in the size of some freight train crews, the carrier announced Monday.
The agreement with the United Transportation Union on the Coast Lines of Santa Fe Railway covers operations in California, Arizona and New Mexico.
A similar agreement is under consideration by UTU members on the railway’s Texas Lines.
“This agreement covers 30% of Santa Fe’s conductors, trainmen and yardmen,” the railway said. “None of the approximately 1,300 employees involved will be furloughed as a result of this agreement.”
