Canadian Pacific yesterday announced it reached a tentative agreement with the United Steelworkers (USW) Local 1976 covering 550 administrative support and intermodal employees in Canada.
Details of the agreement will not be released publicly until it is ratified. This tentative agreement marks the third that CP has negotiated with its unions so far this year, CP officials said in a press release.
"By working collaboratively with our valued union partners, we've reached another negotiated tentative agreement this year," said CP President and CEO Keith Creel. "We thank the United Steelworkers for working collaboratively with us throughout this negotiation. This tentative agreement is a testament to the hard work and commitment of both sides."
USW members at CP include workers in clerical, intermodal, police communications and car compound in locations across Canada. Negotiations have been ongoing since November 2022, according to a USW press release.
"This agreement makes important gains for our members at a time when workers are looking for greater stability and improvements to help cope with the rising cost of living," said Nathalie Lapointe, USW Montreal area coordinator and lead negotiator.
The union will present the contents of the agreement over the coming weeks, with ratification votes wrapping up by the end of the month, USW officials said.
