Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) today said it is preparing to restart railway operations in Canada following the Canadian Minister of Labour’s announcement that he will exercise his authority under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to direct the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to impose final binding arbitration and for railway operations to resume forthwith.

CPKC will follow the order of the CIRB once it executes the Minister’s direction. Our teams are already preparing for the safe and orderly resumption of our rail network and further details about timing will be provided once we receive the CIRB’s order.

The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) – Train & Engine represents CPKC’s roughly 3,200 locomotive engineers, conductors and train and yard workers, and the TCRC – Rail Canadian Traffic Controllers represents approximately 80 rail traffic controllers, all in Canada.
