CP Rail workers are expected to be back on the job by noon today.

This comes after a deal was struck with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference union overnight.

CP President Keith Creel says, “CP is pleased to have reached agreement with the TCRC Negotiating Committee to enter into binding arbitration and end this work stoppage. This agreement enables us to return to work effective noon Tuesday local time to resume our essential services for our customers and the North American supply chain.”

The company says it will immediately begin working with customers to resume normal train operations across Canada.

Around 3000 locomotive engineers, conductors, train and yard workers had been off the job since the weekend.

CP Rail Work Stoppage Underway

, , , , , ,

Thousands of Canadian Pacific Rail employees are off the job across the country.

A work stoppage began over the weekend after the two sides failed to reach a deal.

About 3,000 locomotive engineers, conductors, train, and yard workers are affected.

The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference said CP Rail locked out the workers.

But CP Rail maintains it was the union that withdrew its services before Sunday’s contract deadline.

Wages, pensions, and working conditions are among the major stumbling blocks.
