Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) announced it has activated contingency plans to ensure railway operations in Canada following the strike initiated by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) on May 31, which represents about 300 Signals and Communications employees. CPKC expressed disappointment over the inability to avoid the work stoppage after months of negotiations and stated that its contract proposal included fair wage and benefit increases aligned with other unions. The company encourages IBEW to accept binding arbitration and remains optimistic for a swift resolution.
