CN Rail's locomotive engineers have ratified a new collective agreement, the company said Friday.
The three-year contract, retroactive to Jan. 1, provides wage increases along with standard benefit improvements to 1,800 locomotive engineers represented by the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC).
"CN is pleased with the ratification of the new labour contract by TCRC members and the fact that we reached a tentative deal in December 2011 before the existing agreement expired," said CN executive vice-president and chief operating officer Keith Creel in a statement.
"The success of the parties in this round of bargaining bodes well for the future of our relationship and ability to address issues of mutual interest in a constructive way that benefits CN's customers and all of its other stakeholders."
