CP, IBEW Reach New Tentative Agreement

Canadian Pacific (CP) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Canadian Signals and Communications System Council No. 11 reported reaching a new tentative five-year collective agreement.

Canadian Pacific averted a strike with two of its unions, but a work stoppage is still possible as union leaders urged members to reject the railroad’s latest offers.
