CN has announced that members of the Unifor union have ratified the clerical/intermodal, Savage Alberta Railway, excavator-operator and CNTL owner-operator collective agreements. The company is awaiting the results from the mechanical bargaining unit represented by Unifor Local 100R.
Unifor represents 4,800 CN employees in four bargaining units at CN – clerical/intermodal; mechanical; CNTL truck owner-operators; and excavator-operators.
The clerical/intermodal, CNTL and excavator-operators agreements which were ratified all have a 51-month term.
Jim Vena, CN executive vice-president and chief operating officer, said: "We are pleased to see the ratification of these labour agreements by Unifor members. The deals were amicably negotiated and are good for CN and its employees."
