Unifor's Canadian National Railway members vote for strike authorization
Adds company statement in paragraph 3
Nov 25 (Reuters) -Unifor said on Monday its members at Canadian National Railway CNR.TO have authorized a strike action at the railroad if the parties fail to reach an agreement by Jan. 1.
Unifor, which represents more than 3,600 members at the railroad's Council 4000 and Local 100 committees, said members voted "overwhelmingly" in favor of the strike action.
"CN is committed to reaching negotiated agreements with Unifor that are good for employees, customers, and the economy," said Ashley Michnowski, a spokesperson for Canadian National.
Unifor, which represents CN Rail's car technicians and heavy duty mechanics among other workers, said negotiations with the railroad will resume from Nov. 30 to Dec. 8 in Montreal.
The union had initiated negotiations with CN Rail in September, with bargaining priorities that included higher wages, addressing concerns about the pension plan and job security for its members.
