CN said that the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference - Conductors, Trainpersons and Yardpersons (TCRC-CTY) has advised the Company that the tentative labor agreements negotiated with the union in October 2013 have failed to ratify. The TCRC-CTY represents approximately 3,000 CN train conductors, trainpersons, yardpersons and traffic coordinators on CN's network in Canada. Jim Vena, CN executive vice-president and chief operating officer, said: "Last fall, after extensive negotiations, we reached progressive agreements with the union leadership of the TCRC-CTY representing our Canadian employees. We are disappointed to learn that those agreements failed to ratify. We have agreed to meet with the TCRC-CTY leaders next week to review the ratification results and discuss solutions on how we move forward from here."
