CALGARY, Alberta — The union representing CPKC engineering service workers in Canada has ratified a new four-year contract, the railroad has announced.
The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way Employees Division (TRCR-MWED) represents about 2,300 workers.
CPKC CEO Keith Creel said the ratification, announced Friday, Feb. 14, provides improved wages and benefits, but details were not released. “This agreement, reached at the bargaining table and ratified with strong support among the membership,” Creel said in a press release, “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.”
The tentative agreement between the railroad and union had been announced in January [see “CPKC and Teamsters Canada …,” Trains News Wire, Jan. 28, 2025].
