Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) received the arbitrator's ruling establishing new collective bargaining agreements with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) Train and Engine (T&E) division and the TCRC - Rail Canada Traffic Controllers (RCTC) division.
TCRC T&E represents approximately 3,200 locomotive engineers, conductors, train and yard workers across Canada and TCRC RCTC represents approximately 80 rail traffic controllers in Canada.
Arbitrator William Kaplan issued his ruling after the completion of multiple rounds of mediation and ultimately the conclusion of the interest arbitration process. The arbitrator's ruling establishes terms of new four-year contracts with both TCRC bargaining units.
The new collective agreements with the TCRC divisions, effective from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2027, include annual wage increases of 3%. The provisions outlined in the arbitrator's award do not require ratification.
