(Reuters circulated the following on September 4.)
CALGARY, Alberta — Canadian Pacific Railway Co. said on Tuesday it has agreed on a tentative five-year contract with 4,500 train engineers and conductors represented by the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference.
The railway said details on the proposed contract will not be released until it’s ratified.
However, Teamsters Vice President Douglas Finnson said in a statement the pact included improvements in wages, benefits and pension provisions.
The agreement is one of two major contracts up for negotiation this year for Canada’s No. 2 railway.
The company settled with 3,200 track workers in June after a three-week strike.
