TCRC-MWED ratifies 4-year pact with CPKC

Canadian Pacific Kansas City announced Feb. 14 that the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way Employees Division (TCRC-MWED), which represents 2,300 engineering service employees in Canada, has ratified a new four-year collective agreement with the Class I.

The agreement provides improved wages and benefits to employees, said CPKC President and CEO Keith Creel in a press release.

"This agreement, reached at the bargaining table and ratified with strong support among the membership, brings long-term labor stability for our engineering employees allowing us to continue our work safely and efficiently serving our customers and delivering for the Canadian economy," Creel said.

CPKC and TCRC-MWED announced the tentative agreement late last month.
