Key Points: 
  • It’s been inaccurate when Norfolk Southern has suggested in recent days that it has the full support of rail unions.

  • These claims overlook key facts, including the following:

ATLANTA, April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC) Monday issued the following statement after being made aware that Ancora Holdings LLC (Ancora) has, without any authority or authorization, negotiated and signed a memorandum of understanding with The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET), a division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. This unauthorized agreement purports to offer specific concessions by Norfolk Southern to the BLET in exchange for the BLET's support of Ancora's attempt to gain control of the company's board.

Key Points: 
  • Ancora's actions are a blatant attempt to buy votes through backdoor deals to take control of the company.
  • Aside from violating the Railway Labor Act rules that grant exclusive negotiating authority to representatives of Norfolk Southern, Ancora has demonstrated that its own nominees are not independent and are beholden only to Ancora.
  • Together with our unions, Norfolk Southern has made significant progress to create a safer, more productive railroad.
  • In contrast, Ancora is misleading shareholders and employees with false promises and unauthorized financial commitments that would destroy shareholder value.
