CN workers vote overwhelmingly in favour of strike action

Dear Members,

Unifor members of Council 4000 and Local 100 at Canadian National Railway (CN Rail) have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action, with 96% of Local 100 members and 97% of Council 4000 members supporting the mandate, preparing to take action should an agreement not be reached by January 1, 2025.

The strong mandate reflects members' determination to achieve a fair contract that values their contributions and addresses long-standing issues. Workers are united in calling for job security, fair compensation and improved working conditions, sending a clear message to CN that concessions will no longer be accepted.

Negotiations with CN will resume in Montreal from November 30 to December 8.

Unifor's bargaining committees remain committed to securing an agreement that prioritizes fairness and respect for all members.

Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.

We will continue to provide updates on unifor.org/cnbargaining2024 as we move forward with the conciliation process.

In solidarity,

Council 4000 and Local 100 CN Master Bargaining Committees
