Calgary, March 22,
2022 – The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) and Canadian
Pacific (CP) have agreed to final and binding arbitration. In such a
process, both parties agree to accept the arbitrator's decision as
final.
“The
decision to agree to final and binding arbitration is not taken
lightly,” said Dave Fulton, TCRC spokesperson at the
bargaining table. “While
arbitration is not the preferred
method, we were able to negotiate terms and conditions that were in the
best interest of our members. Our members will return
to work at 12:00 (noon) local
time today.”
Wages and pensions remain stumbling
blocks.
There will be no comment from union
spokespersons to the media until the arbitration process is complete.
