Maintenance workers at Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. are fuming after chief executive officer Fred Green unveiled strike contingency plans, union leader William Brehl said yesterday. Mr. Brehl said Teamsters employees aren't impressed by Mr. Green's plan, in the event of a strike, to keep freight moving by having managers fill in for unionized workers. "Quite candidly, we can run the railway without this group," Mr. Green said Tuesday. "We would rather not do that, but we will if we need to and we'll do it for as long as we have to, to make our point." Mr. Green is disrespecting important workers who build and maintain tracks, Mr. Brehl said. CP (TSX) fell 29 cents to $72.71.
