CPR and United Steelworkers Reach New Agreement
Canadian Pacific Railway and the United
Steelworkers (USW) representing 1,500 clerical workers and employees at
intermodal facilities across Canada have reached a tentative three-year labour
agreement.
The agreement, subject to ratification, will take effect 1 Jan 2007
and extend until the end of 2009. The tentative settlement includes
improvements to wages and benefits as well as a number of work rule changes
that will enhance work/life balance while, at the same time, help to improve
productivity and manage costs.
Details of the agreement will be released once ratified.
