(Reuters) - Railroad operator CSX said on Tuesday it had reached a five-year tentative agreement with the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen (BRS).

The Jacksonville, Florida-based company said the tentative collective bargaining agreement is subject to ratification by the union's members. BRS represents 1,215 railway workers operating signals and points at the company.

Railroad operators in the U.S. have been agreeing to union talks after the Biden administration had called for better benefits for freight railroad workers including paid sick leaves.

CSX said on Tuesday the terms of the agreement with BRS provide equivalent packages of improved wages, healthcare and paid time-off benefits.

CSX in January ratified a five-year agreement with nearly 4,200 workers represented by the Teamsters union. The deal included a wage raise of 18.77%.

Earlier this month, workers represented by the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers ratified a five-year collective bargaining agreement with CSX.
