CP Rail talks set to resume in Calgary after unions reject railway offer
Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. is resuming contract talks with its train operators and signalling workers after they overwhelmingly rejected the company’s offer in a vote ordered by the federal government.
About 3,000 members of the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference voted 98.1 per cent against the company’s final offer.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which represents 365 signal and communications workers, voted about 97 per cent against the offer.
The union said talks are set to resume Friday at 1 p.m. MT in Calgary in an attempt to achieve an agreement and avoid a work stoppage.
