Not only is CPKC lagging the trend of major freight railroads agreeing to provide paid sick time to most of their workers, but now some of its dispatchers may lose the benefit later this year when they move to the merged railroad's new U.S. headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri. Rail unions estimate that less than 10% of CPKC's U.S. workers have paid sick time, compared to nearly 90% of the more than 100,000 workers across all six of the biggest freight railroads.
