Workers gain in rules, wages, benefits: Union
Four new tentative agreements have been reached with Unifor National Council 4000 and Canadian National (CN) and CN Transportation in Montreal on March 31.
“Earlier this year we set a new wage pattern for the rail sector and we are pleased to be able to conclude these negotiations with agreements that make sure our hard-working rail members earn their fair share in wages and benefits” said Jerry Dias, Unifor national president.
The council represents 3,300 rail workers across Canada including workers at CN, Intermodal, CNTL and CN Savage Alberta Railway, said the union.
Bargaining began on Jan. 24 with four separate bargaining committees who achieved gains in work rules, wages and benefits, said the union.
Details of the new agreements will not be made public until they are presented to members at a series of ratification meetings.
