CPKC to maintain rail operations across Canada during IBEW strike
On Sunday, Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) announced that it has implemented contingency plans to maintain railway operations across Canada following the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Canadian Signals and Communications System Council No. 11’s rejection of the company’s latest contract offers.
The IBEW, which represents approximately 300 Signals and Communications employees in Canada, launched a strike at 8:00 AM MDT on May 31. CPKC said rail service has continued despite the work stoppage.
The railroad said it continues to encourage the IBEW to end the strike and accept binding arbitration.
