Conrail Workers Score Massive Win with 17.5% Wage Hike!

Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up! We've got a massive win for the hardworking railroaders at Conrail. The Transport Workers Union (TWU) members in Detroit, Philadelphia, and New Jersey have just voted overwhelmingly to ratify a new five-year contract. And let me tell you, this isn't just any contract—it's a game-changer!

The contract, effective July 1, 2025, delivers a whopping 17.5% wage increase. That's right, folks! By the end of this five-year deal, Journeyman Carmen will be making over $100,000 a year. This is a big win for TWU railroad workers, and it's about time they got the recognition they deserve.

But the good news doesn't stop at wages. This new contract also includes enhanced dental and vision benefits, an employee-only health plan, and improved vacation benefits. Workers with six years or more seniority will get 15 paid days off, those with 15 years or more will get 20 days off, and those with 23 years or more will get a whopping 25 days off. This is a huge step forward for worker morale and job satisfaction.

TWU International President John Samuelsen couldn't be more thrilled. He said, “This new contract locks in real wage increases and ensures that hardworking TWU members will be able to better provide for their families with increased pay and benefits.” And TWU Rail Division Director John Feltz added, “This ratified contract ensures significant wage increases without needing to resort to an extremely long and politically fraught mediation process.”

Conrail workers play a critical role in inspecting and repairing railcars, and this new contract recognizes their hard work and dedication. By the end of the five-year contract, TWU rail workers at Conrail will make more than $48 an hour and over $100,000 a year in base pay, not including potential overtime pay. This is a no-brainer for anyone looking to invest in the future of rail transportation.

But the TWU isn't stopping there. They will continue to negotiate for paid sick days at the local level with Conrail. This is a union that knows how to fight for its members, and it shows in every aspect of this new contract.

Conrail currently operates three rail networks in the Detroit area, Philadelphia/South Jersey area, and North Jersey with the shared assets of CSX and Norfolk Southern. This new contract is a win for everyone involved, from the workers to the companies to the communities they serve.
