CP Bargaining Update

Dear Members,

The Local 101R bargaining committee continued negotiating with the Employer this week in Calgary.

As reported in the last RailLine, the Union filed a Notice of Dispute, requesting the assistance of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.

The bargaining committee is pleased to report that contract negotiations are moving productively and that we have progressed through rules and language proposals and are now set to discuss each other’s economic packages with the Federal Conciliator the week of January 9, 2023 in Vancouver.

From the onset of bargaining, we have made it clear to the Employer – we will do whatever it takes to get a collective agreement that respects and values our members and assists them in tackling the high inflation they are facing.

The Union does not bargain publicly, but we will update you as often as possible with these tools. We would ask all members not to listen to the employer for updates or entertain rumors that may come up during the bargaining process.

Please contact your local union representatives for additional information or questions. Your continued support will be pivotal in achieving our next collective agreement.

In solidarity,

Unifor Local 101R bargaining committee
