Rail Negotiations Stalled
11/9/2002
Rail Negotiations Stalled Negotiations between Machinists, Sheet Metal Workers and the National Rail Labor Coalition (NLRC) continued last week in Washington, D.C. with the assistance of a federal mediator. No progress was reported in resolving open issues for the more than 8,000 IAM members employed at Class I Freight Rail Carriers.

Separately, the Transportation Communications Union (TCU) and the NLRC scheduled an arbitration in late January to settle outstanding health & welfare and wage issues in their negotiations. The outcome of that arbitration could impact the IAM’s discussions with the NLRC, and as a result, negotiations will not reconvene until February 26-27, 2003 in Washington, D.C.
