"For the first time, Canada’s two main railway companies, CN and CPKC, are poised for simultaneous labor stoppage due to stalled contract negotiations with the Teamsters union, threatening the entire Canadian freight system."
"The federal government’s new fatigue rules led CN to seek a one-year extension of its labor contract, resulting in both companies’ agreements expiring at the end of 2023, triggering concurrent negotiations."
"With both companies on the brink of a lockout and potential worker strikes, significant shipment disruptions are anticipated, affecting not only Canada but also U.S. supply chains reliant on Canadian freight."
"CPKC has warned it will halt new rail shipments from Canada if progress is not made in talks, indicating wider consequences for cross-border cargo reliant on these rail networks."
