The Teamsters union's recent 72-hour strike notice to Canadian National Railway reflects ongoing tensions in labor negotiations, as both major Canadian railways have locked out workers.
The Canadian government intervened in the labor dispute, invoking labor laws to request binding arbitration, aiming to resolve a crisis affecting essential goods transportation across the nation.
With a combined daily cargo of $1 billion, pressure has increased on CN and CPKC from industry groups for an agreement that could mitigate significant economic disruptions.
Various industry stakeholders, including government officials, emphasize the urgent need to restore rail services that are vital for moving goods and maintaining economic stability.
