Unifor initiates labor negotiations with Canadian National Railway
Adds details in paragraph 3, background from paragraphs 5 to 8
Sept 23 (Reuters) -Unifor said on Monday it has initiated labor negotiations with Canadian National Railway CNR.TO, representing more than 3,600 workers.
The union said its bargaining priorities include an improvement in wages, addressing concerns about the pension plan and job security for its members.
Unifor, which represents CN Rail's car technicians and heavy duty mechanics among other workers, said its current collective agreement with the rail operator is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2024.
CN Rail did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The rail company has already faced a threat of work stoppage this year, by the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Union in August, until the Canadian government called for a binding arbitration to reach an agreement over a new contract.
Teamsters has filed court challenges against the rulings by the country's industrial labor board that forced them back to work.
CN Rail lowered its profit forecast for 2024 earlier this month, citing the impact of labor stoppages and wildfires in Alberta.
Canada, the world's second-largest country by area, relies heavily on trains to transport a wide range of commodities and goods.
