CPKC receives arbitration decision establishing new TCRC collective agreements
CALGARY , AB , May 30, 2025 /CNW/ - Canadian Pacific Kansas City (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) (CPKC) today said it has received an arbitrator's ruling establishing new collective bargaining agreements with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) – Train and Engine (T&E) division and the TCRC - Rail Canada Traffic Controllers (RCTC) division.
Arbitrator William Kaplan issued his ruling after the completion of multiple rounds of mediation and ultimately the conclusion of the interest arbitration process. The arbitrator's ruling establishes terms of new four-year contracts with both TCRC bargaining units.
TCRC – T&E represents approximately 3,200 locomotive engineers, conductors, train and yard workers across Canada .
TCRC – RCTC represents approximately 80 rail traffic controllers in Canada .
The new collective agreements with the TCRC divisions, effective from January 1, 2024 , through December 31, 2027 , include annual wage increases of 3%. The provisions outlined in the arbitrator's award do not require ratification.
The establishment of these multi-year collective agreements involving train crews and rail traffic controllers come after the ratification earlier this year of three new collective agreements reached at the bargaining table between CPKC and unions representing thousands of mechanical, engineering, clerical and intermodal employees in Canada .
Together, these agreements bring labour stability to CPKC operations in Canada , allowing efficient and dependable rail service to continue uninterrupted for years to come.

U.S. stocks add to their all-time high
NEW YORK — U.S. stocks are adding to their records on Monday as Wall Street nears the finish of a second straight winning month. The S&P 500 was 0.2% higher in early trading, its first trading after completing its stunning rebound from a springtime sell-off of roughly 20%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 142 points, or 0.3%, as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.2% higher. Stocks got a boost after Canada said it's rescinding a planned tax on U.S. technology firms and resuming talks on trade with the United States. On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump had said he was suspending talks with Canada because of his anger with the tax, which he called 'a direct and blatant attack on our country.' One of the main reasons U.S. stocks came back so quickly from its springtime swoon has been hope that Trump will reach deals with other countries to lower his stiff proposed tariffs. Otherwise, the fear is that the trade wars could stifle the economy and send inflation higher. The United States is charging a 10% baseline tax on all imported goods, along with higher rates for Chinese goods and other import taxes on steel and autos. But many of Trump's additional, announced tariffs are currently on pause. They're scheduled to kick back into effect in a little more than a week. In an interview with Fox News Channel's 'Sunday Morning Futures,' Trump said his administration will notify countries that the trade penalties will take effect unless there are deals with the United States. Letters will start going out 'pretty soon' before the approaching deadline, he said. On Wall Street, GMS' stock jumped 11.3% after the supplier of specialty building products said it agreed to sell itself to a Home Depot subsidiary in a deal that would pay $110.00 per share in cash. That would give it a total value of roughly $5.5 billion, including debt. Less than two weeks ago, another company, QXO, said it was offering to buy GMS for $95.20 per share in cash. After the announcement of the Home Depot bid, QXO's stock rose 2%, and Home Depot's stock was flat. Hewlett Packard Enterprise rallied 12% and Juniper Networks climbed 8.4% after saying they had reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice that could clear the way for their merger go through, subject to court approval. HPE is trying to buy Juniper in a $14 billion deal. In the bond market, Treasury yields were easing a bit ahead of some major economic reports later in the week. The highlight will be Thursday's jobs report. It's often the most anticipated economic data of each month, and it will come a day earlier than usual this upcoming month because of the Fourth of July holiday. The job market has remained relatively steady recently, even in the face of tariffs, but hiring has slowed. Economists expect Thursday's data to show another slowdown in overall hiring, down to 115,000 jobs in June from 139,000 in May. Such data has kept the Federal Reserve on hold this year when it comes to interest rates. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has said repeatedly that it's waiting for more data to show how tariffs will affect the economy and inflation before resuming its cuts to interest rates. That's because lower rates can fan inflation higher, along with giving the economy a boost. Trump, meanwhile, has been pushing for more cuts to rates and for them to happen soon. Two of his appointees to the Fed have said recently they could consider cutting rates as soon as the Fed's next meeting in less than a month. The yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.26% from 4.29% late Friday. In stock markets abroad, indexes dipped modestly in Europe following a more mixed finish in Asia. Stocks fell 0.9% in Hong Kong but rose 0.6% in Shanghai after China reported its factory activity improved slightly in June after Beijing and Washington agreed in May to postpone imposing higher tariffs on each others' exports, though manufacturing remained in contraction. ___ AP business writer Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.
