Protesters push Canadian Pacific for sick leave

Protesters gathered at the Davenport stop of historic Empress locomotive to put pressure on Canadian Pacific Railway to provide paid sick leave for workers.

Protesters say the railroad company has not budged on the issue since a similar protest took place in 2023. Protesters said they hope picketing at this event will catch the eyes of officials so some change can come.

The Empress’s next stop is Kansas City Missouri.
