CN: Unifor files notice of dispute


advertisement

CN announced Sept. 27 that Unifor has filed a notice of dispute three days after the beginning of negotiations.

The union represents 3,300 mechanical, clerical and intermodal employees in Canada across three collective agreements. The current collective agreements expire on Dec. 31.

Also known as "‘conciliation’, the notice of dispute is sent to the Canada's labor minister by either party during a negotiation and typically results in the appointment of a conciliation officer to assist the parties in reaching an agreement, CN officials said in a press release.

"While CN is disappointed that Unifor is filing the notice so early in the process, the company is committed to reaching negotiated agreements with the union that are good for employees, customers and the economy," they said.
