Respondent
Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC), a trade union representing railway sector employees, accuses the Canadian Pacific Railway Company (CP) of violating the Clarke Award issued on March 23, 2018. The award determined that CP breached the 'rest provisions' of two collective agreements, directing CP to cease such actions. On March 28, 2018, this award was registered with the Federal Court, granting it the status of a Court Order. The Court has now found CP in contempt for not adhering to the Clarke Award's stipulations in several incidents. These breaches include specific dates in 2018 and 2019, such as June 14, 2018, January 23, 2019, and April 18, 2019, among others. In particular, multiple violations were identified on September 1, 2018. The ruling establishes that CP knowingly and deliberately ignored the cease and desist provisions of the award in these instances.
