The Canadian Labor Minister has ordered mediation amid a stalemate between Canadian freight railways and the Teamsters union, impacting services for all Canadians.
Labor Minister Steven MacKinnon emphasized the importance of industrial peace, stating that repeated conflicts in the railway sector must be examined to avoid future disputes.
The Teamsters union, representing 10,000 railway employees, argues that the key obstacles to an agreement are rooted in the companies' demands, not their proposals.
Following a lockout, CN lifted restrictions to facilitate economic recovery, but tensions remain as no new collective bargaining agreements have been reached.
