CP launches plan to maintain operations as track maintenance employees go on strike
CALGARY — Canadian Pacific (TSX/NYSE: CP) is deploying trained management employees to safely maintain its operations during a strike announced today by the union representing its maintenance of way workers.
The union notified the company that it plans to strike at 11:59 PM MDT May 15, 2007.
In addition to improved pension and benefits the Company’s settlement offer calls for increases of 3%, 4% and 3% over the 3 year term, 2007-2009 and is consistent with agreements ratified by other CP unions. These increases significantly exceed average settlements across Canadian industry, which are running just over 2.5% annually.
The union recently increased its wage proposals from 12% to 13% over the 3 year term.
CP has renewed 99 collective agreements with 15 different unions over the last 12 years with just one short strike 4 years ago.
“Through a system-wide contingency plan, our company has taken the steps necessary to maintain our tracks for the duration of this job action,” said CP Senior Vice President Brock Winter. “Our commitment to ensure safe train operations will continue.”
The union represents employees who do not operate trains; they maintain track and structures. CP has trained over 1300 employees to enable replacement of roughly 1,200 positions which directly maintain track. Other positions will not be replaced as they are associated with capital projects, which will be deferred.
CP’s trains will continue to operate with regular personnel.
The strike will not affect other unionized employees in Canada or the U.S.
