Negotiations have been ongoing since contracts expired in December 2023, with Teamsters Canada accusing CN and CPKC of not taking negotiations seriously and driving towards a work stoppage.
As we stand on the brink of a work stoppage, it’s crucial to recognize the role of the Canadian government, which is actively attempting to mediate between Teamsters and the rail companies.
The lockout starting Thursday marks a significant escalation in the labor dispute, highlighting the effects of halted movements for essential commodities like grain and coal across Canada.
Despite mediation efforts, the deadlock has persisted, underscoring frustrations from both the unions and the companies about the lack of progress in negotiations.
