The International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 19 recently announced it reached a tentative labor agreement with Union Pacific Railroad. 

The agreement would cover about 1,300 UP workers. Details on the pact weren’t released pending a ratification vote by IAM members. 

The union plans to send members more information about the tentative pact soon. An electronic ratification vote will take place Aug. 25-29. 

“Our membership asked us to stand strong for a contract that includes no takeaways and makes improvements to pay, vacation and healthcare and that’s exactly what we’ve delivered,” said IAM District 19 President and Directing General Chair Reece Murtagh in a press release. “We strongly recommend acceptance of this agreement.”
