UTU-represented mechanical supervisors employed on Conrail Shared Assets have overwhelmingly ratified a new contract.
The workers, members of Locals 1949 and 1962, are employed in the Detroit, Mich., and New Jersey areas. Conrail Shared Assets is owned 51 percent by Norfolk Southern, 49 percent by CSX.
The contract ratified is essentially the same as the UTU national rail contract with a few minor adjustments for local conditions, said International Vice President J.R. Jim Cumby.
Cumby praised the hard work of CSX General Chairperson Bob Keeley and Local Chairpersons Dan Mallo and Jamar Ingram for their help in getting the vote out.
