Canadian Pacific receives strike notice from signals workers' union

Canadian Pacific Kansas City received a 72-hour strike notice from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, representing about 300 signals and communications employees across Canada. The notice raises near-term operational risk for the rail operator and could disrupt service if a work stoppage occurs. The news is negative for CPKC, but the immediate market impact is likely contained unless negotiations break down.
