POLICE UNION RATIFIES
CONTRACT SETTLEMENT WITH CPR
CALGARY Members of the Canadian Pacific Police Association (CPPA) have ratified a three-year contract agreement with Canadian Pacific Railway extending through to December 31, 2005.
The CPPA represents 64 police officers responsible for security across the railway. The new agreement provides for an overall 7.5% increase in wages over the three-year term, as well as pension and benefit improvements. It contains provisions for a restructuring of the benefits program in 2005, which will help CPR to manage escalating health and welfare costs while providing extensive benefits coverage.
Terry Hubick, President of the CPPA, stated that the settlement addressed a number of their key concerns encompassing constable wages, pensions and work rules.
We are pleased with the productive exchange of ideas and mutually beneficial dialogue that characterized months of discussions and culminated in a settlement that provides tangible benefits to all parties, Rob Ritchie, President and Chief Executive Officer of CPR, said. The agreement provides a competitive level of compensation and benefits while recognizing that we can work together creatively to manage rising health costs without diminishing coverage.
