Engine, train workers ratify CN contract
MONTREAL (April 11, 2002) — Canadian National said yesterday the Canadian Council of Railway Operating Unions (CCROU) has ratified a new three-year collective agreement with the railway.
The CCROU consists of the 1900-member Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the 3000-member United Transportation Union.
The CCROU agreement, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2001, improves wages and benefits and includes productivity improvements, the railway said.
CN has renewed labour agreements with five bargaining groups representing 13,000 unionized employees in Canada. The 250-member Rail Canada Traffic Controllers — the last union with which CN is seeking a new collective agreement in national bargaining in Canada — is conducting a ratification vote on a tentative agreement.
