CN Railway workers okay contract that ended crippling strike, Teamsters Canada says GlobeBusiness
The new contract “focuses primarily on safety, specifically with regards to crew fatigue and hours of work,” the union said.The agreement, which is retroactive to July 23, 2019, will “provide wage increases and benefit improvements” for the workers, CN said in a statement.
“We’ve succeeded in getting CN to adjust some of its practices in the interests of safety. But the core problem of fatigue in the rail industry can only be resolved through government regulations,” said Lyndon Isaak, president of the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference in a release.The strike triggered a severe propane shortage and left many Canadian exports stranded.
