CN is preparing for a work stoppage by the International Brotherhood of Electric Workers union (IBEW) that could begin as soon as tomorrow.
The union — which represents about 750 CN employees in Canada who work in signals and communications — filed a 72-hour strike notice over the past weekend. The current contract agreement expired Dec. 31, 2024.
There will be no impact on operations as a result of a work stoppage, CN officials said in a bargaining update.
"CN’s contingency plans are in place, operations will continue, and our dedicated teams are prepared to ensure the seamless continuity of service," they said.
The railroad will continue to negotiate with the IBEW.
"While we are disappointed by the current situation, we are optimistic that a resolution can be achieved to avoid any work stoppage," CN officials said.
