Canadian Pacific Kansas City said that United Steelworkers, representing roughly 600 clerical and intermodal employees in Canada, has ratified a new four-year collective agreement.

“We are pleased to have received strong support for another collective agreement, the third in Canada reached this year at the bargaining table providing long-term labor stability, increased wages and improved benefits for thousands of CPKC employees across the country,” CPKC President and Chief Executive Officer Keith Creel said in a release. “With this agreement and ratification, made possible through collaboration with the United Steelworkers, our railroaders remain focused on continuing to safely and efficiently serve our customers, moving Canada’s supply chain and supporting the North American economy.”

This is the third new collective agreement ratified by CPKC employees in Canada this year. Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way Employees Division, representing roughly 2,300 engineering services employees in Canada, and Unifor, representing roughly 1,200 mechanical employees, both ratified new four-year collective agreements in February.
