“By bringing our Law, Government Relations, and Audit & Compliance teams together under Nabanita’s leadership, we strengthen alignment across these departments as we engage with stakeholders on issues of importance to our company and the nation’s economy,” NS President and CEO Alan Shaw said.

Jason Morris will take on the role of Vice President Law, following service as Vice President Labor Relations since June 2021. He joined the NS Law Division in 2010, handling safety, labor and employment issues, and later moved to the Class I railroad’s Safety & Environmental department, serving as System Director Safety before being promoted to Assistant Vice President in 2018.

“Jason is a skilled lawyer and effective leader who returns to the Law department with strong institutional knowledge and a broad range of experiences at NS,” Shaw said. “His experience in Labor Relations will be especially valuable in his new role.”

He joined NS in 2015 as Assistant General Solicitor, handling labor and employment law, and has risen through the ranks to become Counsel, Technology and Strategic Communications, and Director Employee Experience.
