Amtrak Reaches Tentative Agreement with ASWC

Amtrak has reached a tentative agreement on a new labor contract with
the Amtrak Service Workers Council (ASWC) covering the period of January
1, 2010, through January 1, 2015. The ASWC consists of members of the
Transportation Communications International Union, Transport Workers
Union and UNITE HERE union. 

The new contract must be ratified by the union membership and will cover
On-Board Service employees such as service attendants, lead service
attendants, train attendants and chefs.

With the addition of ASWC, Amtrak now has tentative agreements in place
with six labor organizations and joint councils representing 9,200
employees, or 54 percent of the total unionized labor force. 

Tentative agreements have also been reached with the American Train
Dispatchers Association (ATDA), International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers (IBEW), International Association of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers (IAM), the Joint Council of Carmen, Coach Cleaner and Helpers
(JCC) and the Transportation Communications International Union-Clerks
(TCU-Clerks).
