Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) on Feb. 14 reported that Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way Employees Division (TCRC-MWED) has ratified a new four-year collective agreement. The union represents approximately 2,300 engineering service employees in Canada.
A tentative agreement was reached last month.
“Working collaboratively with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way Employees Division, we have completed a new agreement that provides improved wages and benefits to our employees,” CPKC President and CEO Keith Creel said. “This agreement, reached at the bargaining table and ratified with strong support among the membership, brings long-term labor stability for our engineering employees allowing us to continue our work safely and efficiently serving our customers and delivering for the Canadian economy.”
In related news, CPKC earlier this month announced its tentative four-year collective agreement with United Steelworkers (USW), which represents approximately 600 clerical and intermodal employees in Canada. Additionally, the Class I in January reached a tentative collective agreement with Unifor averting a strike.
