The 8-day strike by thousands of workers at CN in November, tied up grain shipments to the coast.
Despite calls for the government to intervene, a deal was hammered out by both sides and on the weekend, members of the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference voted more than 91 per cent in favour of the agreement.
More than 3000 conductors, yard workers and train employees will receive annual wage increases of 2.5, 2.5 and 3 per cent.
But wages weren't the main issue in the strike. The Teamsters wanted concessions on work schedules, hours of work and crew fatigue.
A spokesman for the union says some of their concerns are being addressed by CN, but they said the issue of fatigue is far from settled. The new collective agreement expires in July of 2022.
