In 3 daysLast Updated:
IBEW System Council No. 11, representing about 300 signals and communications employees at Canadian Pacific Kansas City, says members will walk off the job at 08:00 MDT on 31 May 2026 unless a deal is reached. The action would affect CPKC rail operations across Canada; the company says contingency plans are in place and talks will continue. The dispute centres on wages, work-related expenses and work–life balance.
