Canadian National Railway has been in ongoing negotiations with Unifor since October 2022 covering five collective agreements, all of which expired in December. The union represents approximately 3,000 employees working in various departments such as Mechanical, Intermodal, and Facility Management, and in clerical positions in Canada.
Unifor Council 4000 announced that while some progress has been made over the five bargaining sessions, some outstanding issues with Local 100 remain, which include CN proposed changes to the existing substance testing process under the company’s drug and alcohol policy. A strike vote is underway this week.
