CN says it is near labor deals with two unions
MONTREAL (Dec. 19, 2001) — Canadian National said it has negotiated a tentative three-year labor contract with the United Transportation Union (UTU) in Canada, which represents about 2700 train service employees.
CN said it is also finalizing a new collective agreement with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (BLE) that will be voted on early next year. BLE represents about 1900 CN locomotive engineers in Canada.
UTU members will vote on their contract in early 2002.
Details of the two pacts are being withheld pending final union approvals.
CN said it has already secured new three-year collective agreements with four unions representing more than 8100 of its 13,000 unionized employees in Canada. CN said it is optimistic it will reach a new agreement with the 240-member Rail Canada Traffic Controllers union.
