IAM District 19 has reached a tentative agreement, covering approximately 1,300 freight rail members with the Union Pacific Railroad (UP).
“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. “We strongly recommend acceptance of this agreement.”
“District 19 continues to stand strong for industry-leading contracts,” said Josh Hartford, IAM Special Assistant to the International President for the IAM Rail Division. “Together, we are remaking this industry and giving every rail worker the respect they’ve earned.”
Members will soon receive more information on the tentative agreement. An electronic ratification vote will take place between Monday, August 25 and Friday, August 29, 2025.
