The International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers – Transportation Division (SMART-TD), the nation's largest railroad union, and Union Pacific Railroad, the nation's largest railroad, today announced a historic agreement ensuring job security for thousands of railroad workers as Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern pursue a proposed merger.

This groundbreaking agreement guarantees that SMART-TD members working in train and yardmaster service will have job protection for the length of their careers following the transaction, subject to the usual requirements for continued employment. Union Pacific has committed that these employees will not face involuntary furloughs as a result of the merger. This is an unprecedented guarantee in the history of American railroading.
The result of these protections will reduce disruption to shippers and overall customer service. Therefore, SMART-TD is proud to announce its support for Union Pacific's proposed merger with Norfolk Southern. This support will be reflected before the Surface Transportation Board in Docket No. 36873, where the union will stand behind the agreement as a model of protecting workers while advancing the industry.
Protecting Workers, Protecting the Supply Chain
SMART-TD entered these negotiations with one primary concern: the job security of the men and women who keep America's freight moving. This agreement directly addresses that concern. With lifetime job protection, preferential hiring for affected terminal employees, and a commitment to work together on implementing agreements, both parties are ensuring that railroaders and their families will have stability and peace of mind for years to come.
