Jan 14 (Reuters) - Unifor said on Tuesday its members at

railroad operator Canadian Pacific Kansas City ( CP ) had voted

in favor of a strike action if the parties fail to reach an

agreement by Jan. 29.

The union, which represents about 1,200 workers at CPKC,

said 99% of its members voted to authorize a strike.

CPKC did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for

comment.

The union, which had initiated contract negotiations with

the company in October, said it is pushing for job security,

fair compensation and improved working conditions at CPKC.

Unifor added it will hold talks with CPKC from Jan. 24 to

Jan. 29.
