CALGARY, Alberta — Members of United Steelworkers have ratified a new four-year contract with Canadian Pacific Kansas City, the railroad has announced.
The union represents about 600 clerical and intermodal workers in Canada. The railroad did not release terms of the agreement.
“We are pleased to have received strong support for another collective agreement, the third in Canada reached this year at the bargaining table providing long-term labor stability, increased wages and improved benefits for thousands of CPKC employees across the country,” CPKC CEO Keith Creel said in a press release. “With this agreement and ratification, made possible through collaboration with the United Steelworkers, our railroaders remain focused on continuing to safely and efficiently serve our customers, moving Canada’s supply chain and supporting the North American economy.”
The tentative agreement had been reached last month [see “CPKC, United Steelworkers announce …,” Trains News Wire, Feb. 5, 2025].
CPKC previously has reached Canadian agreements with Unifor, representing approximately 1,200 mechanical workers, and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way Employees Division, representing approximately 2,300 engineering services employees.
