Disruptions by Canadian Pacific Railway Strike Averted

03/27/2022

Workers represented by the Teamsters Union of Canada have agreed to enter into binding arbitration in their dispute with the Company.

 

Keith Creel the president of Canadian Pacific stated, “This agreement enables us to return to work effective noon Tuesday, March 22nd to provide essential services for customers and the North American supply chain.”

The labor dispute suspended operations for 72 hours and if it had been extended could have impacted transport of fertilizer required by farmers in advance of spring planting  expected to commence in April.

 

In 2019, Canadian National Railway Company endured an eight-day strike that cost $200 million as a result of delays in delivering fertilizer.

 

Canadian Pacific employs approximately 3,000 locomotive engineers, conductors, and yard workers across Canada, all represented by the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference.
