Yesterday, Canadian National Railway Co. announced Teamsters Canada Rail Conference members ratified two five-year agreements affecting more than 1,600 workers.

Increasing wages, improving benefits and addressing work-life issues, the contracts cover locomotive engineers across Canada and engineers working at CN’s Northern Quebec Territory.

CN now has completed the latest round of labor negotiations in Canada. Since the end of 2003 — when most contracts expired — the Class I has negotiated eight pacts.
