Revelstoke railroaders among 300 CPKC staff on strike
Nearly 300 railroad employees began picketing after negotiations stalled, and the union said 96% of members backed the strike.
- Nearly 300 railroaders represented by IBEW began picketing across Canada on May 31, following a 72-hour strike notice issued on May 27 after voting with 96 per cent support.
- Jason Sommer, senior general chairman for IBEW Systems Council, said the company failed to address retention, compensation, and work-life balance, while signal and communications workers have left for better-paying jobs.
- The dispute impacts more than 1,400 workers operating the rail network 24-7; in Revelstoke, where picketing occurred at Grizzly Plaza, the company plans to relocate 125 railroaders to Kamloops.
- CPKC stated it presented a 'fair and balanced proposal' consistent with other agreements, adding, "After spending months bargaining in good faith, CPKC is disappointed that a work stoppage could not be prevented."
- Instead of accepting binding arbitration, IBEW First District urged CPKC to "return to the table and work toward a negotiated agreement" while reiterating support for the striking signal and communications workers.
