Customer Bulletin: Urgent Notice of service interruption, CP Rail
Update: March 22
We are pleased to let you know that the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) – Train and Engine Negotiating Committee has agreed to enter into binding arbitration with Canadian Pacific (CP), ending the TCRC strike action that began over the weekend.
CP will immediately begin to execute a safe and structured start-up of its train operations in Canada. Effective immediately, CP has cancelled embargoes currently in place.
This agreement will allow for CP’s 3,000 locomotive engineers, conductors, train and yard workers in Canada to return to work at noon local time on March 22, 2022. CP will work diligently to safely restore normal service to the network as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
