MONTREAL — Members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in Canada are set for a walkout on Tuesday, Jan. 28, after issuing a 72-hour strike notice.
The Canadian Press reports the union represents about 750 signal and communications workers, who are prepared to walk out if a new agreement is not reached by the Tuesday deadline. CN told the news service that it has a contingency plan in place for a potential walkout.
Negotiations between the railroad and union began Sept. 24, 2024, with the union filing a notice of dispute with the Minister of Labour on Oct. 29, CN had previously announced. That move led to the appointment of three conciliation officers to assist in negotiations. The union says more than 95% of its members voted to authorize a strike.
