Consolidated Nuclear Security, the management and operations contractor for the Y-12 National Security Site in Tennessee, said Tuesday it had sealed a five-year labor agreement with the Knoxville Building and Construction Trades Council.
The Council is an umbrella organization encompassing 16 local unions, according to a CNS press release.
The labor agreement will expire on Sept. 30, 2021, with an option allowing CNS to extend it without additional negotiations through Sept. 30, 2026. CNS spokeswoman Ellen Boatner said the company could not discuss details of the negotiations or the terms of the deal, but that the agreement makes the Trades Council eligible for any construction work at the National Nuclear Security Administration nuclear arms facility.
“CNS is pleased discussions between the two parties have resulted in a new labor agreement and recognizes the Knoxville Building and Construction Trades Council membership’s contributions to Y-12 and national security,” the company said in the press release.
