Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes (part of the Teamsters Rail Conference) working on Amtrak have won wage increases in their new contract with Amtrak. The BMWED announced today that a final and binding arbitration decision increases wage rates of Amtrak maintenance of way employees and amounts to an average raise of 3.1 percent a year.

The wages are retroactive to January 1, 2010 and back pay will be paid to all BMWED members, active and retired, who earned money during the period in question.
