The union representing thousands of workers at Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. says it has served a 72-hour strike notice to the railway.
The union representing thousands of workers at Canadian Pacific Kansas City says it's served a 72-hour strike notice to the railway. Paul Boucher, President, Teamsters Canada Rail Conference speaks during a press conference to announce the results of strike votes at Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Kansas City on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
Not long after the union's statement, CN Rail issued a notice that it intends to lock workers out at that same time unless an agreement or binding arbitration is achieved."Unless there is an immediate and definite resolution to the labour conflict, CN will have no choice but to continue the phased and progressive shutdown of its network which would culminate in a lockout," the company said in a release.
On Thursday, federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon rejected a request from CN to impose binding arbitration, saying he wants the company to bargain in good faith. A spokesperson for CPKC referred The Canadian Press to previous statements. On Friday, the company said it's committed to bargaining in good faith and reiterated a standing offer to resolve the matter through binding arbitration.
