CNTL members voted overwhelmingly to adopt a new collective agreement.
“The members of Unifor Local 4000 at CNTL work long, thankless hours to deliver the goods that Canadians rely on. I congratulate them, and the bargaining committee for this collective agreement that recognizes their worth,” said Jerry Dias, Unifor National President.
The new deal builds on strong benefits including a leading fuel subsidy, bonuses for safety and fuel conservation, and increased bereavement leave. Owner-operators will also see mileage and wait time increases in every year of the agreement.
“CNTL owner-operators are asked to drive great distances, delivering cargo right across our country,” said Scott Doherty, Executive Assistant to the Unifor National President. “A contract like this one not only raises the bar for Unifor members, but lays down the gauntlet in the trucking industry, asking employers to deliver more for drivers.”
Unifor represents 1006 CNTL members who are dependant owner-operator truck drivers who haul cargo for CN’s Intermodal business, including local pick-up and delivery service, regional and long-haul delivery across Canada, and truck service at Canada’s ports in Vancouver, Montreal and Halifax.
CNTL membership is truly pan-Canadian, with members based in Newfoundland and Labrador to Vancouver Island.
