Multiple railroad workers’ unions representing over 13,000 Union Pacific and BNSF workers in Nebraska have cast their votes on the latest bargaining contract with the national train companies. More than 70 percent of the union workers have voted in favor of the contract, which puts monthly health and welfare contributions at around $225 a month, and are scheduled to freeze in 2019. Some additional votes still need to be cast before the contract is solidified, but so far the railroad workers’ have been approving the settlement terms by huge margins.
