CALGARY — Members of Canadian union Unifor have voted to authorize a strike against Canadian Pacific Kansas City if the railroad and union do not reach a new deal by Jan. 29, 2025.
The union said the vote was 99% in favor of authorization by members of Local 101R, which represents more than 1,200 CPKC mechanical workers.
“Members are united in their demands for job security and work ownership, fair wages, and improved working conditions,” Unifor National President Lana Payne said in a press release. “CPKC workers play a critical role in Canada’s transportation network. Our union will stand firm to ensure their contributions are respected through an approved collective agreement.”
The two sides are set to resume negotiations Jan. 24 in Calgary.
