Brightline West entered into an agreement with several rail unions that commits to using unionized laborers to operate and maintain the planned $10 billion Las Vegas-to-Southern California system.

The deal announced Tuesday morning between Brightline and the High-Speed Labor Coalition garners the support of 13 rail unions, with more than 160,000 union laborers, for the long-planned rail system.

The agreement also underscores Brightline West’s commitment to providing the safest rail operations and high-quality working conditions for its employees, the coalition said.
