Rail workers could be on strike tonight
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Approximately 300 Canadian Pacific Railway workers in Medicine Hat could be hitting the picket lines Tuesday night.
The strike deadline for members of the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC), which represents conductors and engineers, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) System Council No. 11, which represents signal workers, is at 8 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.
On Saturday, the two unions issued the strike notice, after overwhelmingly rejecting the latest offer from the company.
