Another union has rejected the tentative contract agreement with the Class I railroads. The Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen voted against the deal with a 60-40 vote. This contract delivers a 24 percent pay raise during the four years of the agreement and an annual bonus. The two unions rejecting the contract are upset with the number of paid sick days. A strike could begin as soon as November 19.
