MONTREAL — The strike in Canada by members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers against Canadian National Railway has ended.
CN announced Monday that the union, which represents about 750 signal and communications workers, has agreed to binding arbitration, bringing an end to the strike at 12:01 a.m. EDT today (July 5, 2022). Those workers will return to their regular jobs at 7 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, July 6.
The IBEW members had gone on strike on June 18 after providing the required 72-hour strike notice [see “Signal, communications workers begin strike …,” Trains News Wire, June 20, 2022]. CN had said it was able to maintain normal operations during the walkout.
