CPKC, United Steelworkers reach tentative agreement

Canadian Pacific Kansas City today announced it has reached a tentative four-year collective agreement with United Steelworkers (USW) representing clerical and intermodal employees in Canada.

USW represents approximately 600 employees in Canada. Details of the tentative collective agreement will not be released publicly until the agreement has been ratified, CPKC officials said in a press release.

The tentative agreement is the third the Class I has reached this year in Canada, said CPKC President and CEO Keith Creel.

"Working together with the United Steelworkers, we've come to a tentative agreement that is good for our railroaders and their families," Creel said. "With this and other recent agreements, we can continue our work safely and efficiently serving our customers, enabling growth and prosperity in the Canadian economy."
