Unions representing CP Rail workers issue notice of strike action
LAVAL, Que. — The unions representing train operators and signalling workers at Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. have served the company with notice of a strike action.
The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers have told CP Rail they will be in a position to strike as of 10 p.m. ET Tuesday.
In a statement issued Saturday, the unions accused the company of “refusing to negotiate seriously,” after workers rejected its latest contract offer on Friday.
“CP is offering more of the same contract language that workers just voted to reject a few hours ago,” TCRC president Doug Finnson said in the statement.
