Canadian government implements measures to avert potential railroad strike

Canadian government implements measures to avert potential railroad strike

Posted on May 14, 2024   |  

The Canadian government is taking steps to delay the potential commencement of a strike by railway workers at Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC).

Recently, members of the Teamsters union, representing the workers, voted overwhelmingly in favor of a potential strike, with a tentative start date set for May 22.

Given Canada's extensive geography and its significant exports of grain, potash, and coal, railways are crucial to the nation's economy.

The Teamsters Union is currently evaluating the actions of the federal labor minister and has expressed its intention to adhere to any directives issued by the board.

The strike cannot begin until the board renders a formal decision, and there is no predetermined date for when it will be reached.
