Title: Our strike is over
Post by: Anonymous on May 30, 2018, 10:57:41 PM
QuoteCanadian Pacific and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference say they have reached a four-year tentative agreement to end a strike hours after it began.



The parties also reached a five-year deal for the Kootenay Valley Railway.



The union says full operations at both railways will resume Thursday morning across Canada.



Union president Doug Finnson called the deal a fair contract that its members can feel good about.



CP Rail chief executive Keith Creel says the agreements are positive for 12,000 railway employees, customers and the entire Canadian economy.



Creel adds that the agreement will provide long-term stability.



The tentative agreements must be ratified by Teamsters members over the coming months.



Details of the agreement are being withheld pending ratification.

I don't know why running trades members from either of our two class 1 railways bother going on strike. If it last more than a few days you'll be legislated back to work without getting what you want.

We know we won't get everything we want, but I have to believe we got a least some of the things we wanted. And it wasn't about the paltry two per cent per year over five years the company offered.

A lot of people across this country are breathing a sigh of relief. But, I would have preferred a few more days off. :rimshot:
