CPKC receives arbitration decision establishing new TCRC collective agreements

CALGARY , AB , May 30, 2025 /CNW/ - Canadian Pacific Kansas City (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) (CPKC) today said it has received an arbitrator's ruling establishing new collective bargaining agreements with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) – Train and Engine (T&E) division and the TCRC - Rail Canada Traffic Controllers (RCTC) division.
Arbitrator William Kaplan issued his ruling after the completion of multiple rounds of mediation and ultimately the conclusion of the interest arbitration process. The arbitrator's ruling establishes terms of new four-year contracts with both TCRC bargaining units.
TCRC – T&E represents approximately 3,200 locomotive engineers, conductors, train and yard workers across Canada .
TCRC – RCTC represents approximately 80 rail traffic controllers in Canada .
The new collective agreements with the TCRC divisions, effective from January 1, 2024 , through December 31, 2027 , include annual wage increases of 3%. The provisions outlined in the arbitrator's award do not require ratification.
The establishment of these multi-year collective agreements involving train crews and rail traffic controllers come after the ratification earlier this year of three new collective agreements reached at the bargaining table between CPKC and unions representing thousands of mechanical, engineering, clerical and intermodal employees in Canada .
Together, these agreements bring labour stability to CPKC operations in Canada , allowing efficient and dependable rail service to continue uninterrupted for years to come.

Don't regulate us like radio, music streamer Spotify tells CRTC

A trading post sports the Spotify logo on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, April 3, 2018. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File) OTTAWA — Music streamer Spotify says Canada's federal broadcast regulator shouldn't impose rules meant for radio on streaming services. Appearing before a CRTC hearing today, company representatives compared regulating Spotify like a radio station to treating Uber like a horse and buggy. In its written submission, Spotify argued the CRTC doesn't have the jurisdiction to extend rules governing commercial negotiations and disputes in the broadcast sector to online players. The CRTC is holding a hearing on market dynamics as part of its work to implement the Online Streaming Act, which updated broadcasting laws to capture online platforms. During previous hearings, large cable and broadcasting companies like Bell and Rogers called on the CRTC to loosen existing rules for traditional players. They're taking aim at regulations governing how cable channels must be packaged and disputes about carriage of cable channels.

Doug Ford on Netflix documentary about brother: 'Poor Rob's been dead for 9 years.... Leave the guy alone'

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has commented on a Netflix documentary about his late brother and former mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford. Article content 'They're disgusting people,' he said, referring to the filmmakers, at a news conference on Tuesday. 'Poor Rob's been dead for nine years and they just want to keep going after him. I talked to one person that saw it. It's just disgusting. Leave the guy alone. Let him rest in peace. Let his family rest in peace.' Article content Article content The premier said that he would not be watching the documentary, entitled Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem. It was released on the streaming service in Canada on June 17. The 49-minute film covers Rob's rise to prominence as a politician, from city councillor to mayor, in Canada's largest city. Article content Article content As his former staffer Tom Beyer described it in the film, there were often two reactions when people saw him driving Rob's campaign bus on the streets while he was running for mayor. 'People would be waving and cheering, and others would be giving me the finger,' said Beyer. 'There was no middle ground.' Article content Rob was elected mayor in 2010. In the first year of his mayoralty, he was 'able to get his agenda passed,' city councillor Josh Matlow said in the documentary. 'He was ticking off, piece by piece, his plan to make the city work and end the waste,' said Mark Towhey, Rob's former chief of staff. Article content However, Rob was also known for making off the cuff remarks to the media and in city hall's council chambers. He was accused of inappropriate behaviour while intoxicated, including showing up at a gala while drunk, confronting a couple at a Maple Leafs game, and drinking in his City Hall office on St. Patrick's Day in 2012. Photos and videos allegedly showing him inebriated surfaced many times during his mayoralty, according to media reports at the time, which prompted him to either deny wrongdoings, or in some cases, apologize. Article content Article content The situation became more dire in 2013 when reports circulated that there was a video of Rob smoking crack cocaine out of a glass pipe. He denied the drug use at first, but later, in November of that year, admitted to it.

VIA Rail and Unifor reach tentative agreement, avoiding a strike

Via Rail has reached a tentative deal with the union representing 2,400 of its workers across the country, the Crown corporation said on Friday. The deal averts a walkout involving members of Unifor, who had voted for a strike mandate to be exercised as early as Sunday. Unifor says the tentative agreement offers gains in wages, job security and working conditions. The union represents workers at VIA Rail stations, maintenance centres, the customer care centre, in administrative offices and on board trains. Unifor didn't release details of the deal, preferring to first inform its members at meetings scheduled over the coming weeks. VIA Rail has said it was committed to a fair and reasonable agreement while remaining competitive and providing quality service. The two parties had broken off contract talks earlier this month, setting the stage for a potential strike.
