UNIONS REJECT CANADIAN PACIFIC RAIL OFFER

   Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. is resuming contract talks with its train operators and signalling workers after they overwhelmingly rejected the company’s offer in a vote ordered by the federal government.
   The Calgary-based railway has offered two per cent annual wage increases and $1,000 to each member to drop a series of filed grievances.
   The Teamsters bargaining team rejected the offer and was unhappy that the fatigue of its members wasn’t addressed by the company.
  The vote came as the country’s two large railways have been regaining momentum following the challenges of a tough winter that slowed service, particularly for grain.
