CN | Customer News | Negotiations with TCRC

Thursday, May 16, 2024

Dear Customer,

CN has issued following update to the industry:

To stay informed about the collective bargaining updates between the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) union and CN, please visit: www.cn.ca/TCRCinfo.

Negotiations between CN and the TCRC are continuing this week with the support of federal conciliators.

CN presented a revised offer to the TCRC that continues to focus on protecting the North American economy and its supply chains, while maintaining the safety of its employees. Visit www.cn.ca/TCRCinfo to learn more.

CN has been and remains working hard to reach a mutually beneficial negotiated agreement with the TCRC that avoids a work stoppage. As previously communicated, the Minister of Labour requested clarity from the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) on whether or not any service is essential, and therefore must be maintained during a labour disruption. Specifically, CN has been requested to provide details regarding the movement of heavy fuel oil, propane, and food and water treatment materials needed in remote communities and throughout Canada. As a result of that request, there can be no strike or lockout before the CIRB issues a decision. It is highly unlikely that such determination could be made before May 22.

As always, your account manager remains a key point of contact for questions or concerns.

We will keep you informed as the situation evolves.

Please be guided accordingly.

Sincerely,

HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS
