Looks as though while NS and BLET have agreed ta work out a half-way realistic agreement, UTU ain't very pleased ta know that the carrier and the engineers and trainmen the organization represents, have managed ta hammer this out. Labor News Norfolk Southern, BLET sign six-year agreement Norfolk Southern and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen Tuesday signed a labor agreement offering the railroad's 5,000 engineers a pay increase of 19% during a six-year period. NS said its pact with BLET includes wage increases of roughly 3.2% per year from 2009 through 2014. Eligible engineers also get a $1,200 signing bonus Dec. 1 and a $3,500 bonus Jan. 1, 2009. NS says the agreement also improves the union's retirement plan and increases incentive pay for weekends and holidays. (The United Transportation Union says it is challenging certain provisions of the contract.)

Our conductors have no guarantee and I'll just bet that your engineer's guarantee would make you think of flushing ours. Not that I'm going on the extra board or anything.
