Canadian Pacific Railway has reached a tentative four-year contract deal with the Teamsters Canada union, ending a strike that halted rail operations. As a major shipper of grain, crude oil, fracking sand as well as forest and mining products, a prolonged Canadian Pacific strike would have dealt a significant blow to the country’s economy. The union said it was pleased by the agreement, which will keep CP running until at least June 30, 2019.
