Meetings between the two sides, including two federal government mediators, began September 23 and carried through to September 27 before adjourning for a short break. The talks resumed during the week of October 5 and continued through to last week.
"CN remains optimistic that it can reach a settlement with the TCRC on a new collective agreement without any kind of labour disruption," Mark Hallman, Director of Communications and Public Affairs for CN said.
Daniel J. Shewchuk, president of the TCRC, said he was also optimistic that an agreement can be reached.
The previous agreement between the parties expired on December 31, 2008.
The locomotive engineers have given the TCRC negotiators a strike mandate should one be required. A strike vote held prior to October 2, found that 89.8% of the workers were in favour of strike action if deemed necessary by TCRC negotiators. The strike vote was taken as rumours began circulating that CN was ready to lock out the employees.
"CN and the union have agreed to continue bargaining, and we remain optimistic that we can reach a settlement with the TCRC without disruption," Hallman said.
Details of the negotiations were not disclosed by either Hallman or Shewchuk.
A rail labour dispute would come at a bad time, as the need to meet export commitments at Canada's export facilities is the heaviest at present.
