The Canadian government has intervened to bring an end to a nationwide rail strike, a move that will impact businesses, workers, and communities across the country.
CN rail workers are currently heading back to work, while the CPKC stoppage continues, pending an order from the Canada Industrial Relations Board, the union said.
On Thursday, Labour Minister Steve MacKinnon invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to impose binding arbitration on the dispute between Canadian National (CN), Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), and the Teamsters union, which represents engineers, conductors, and yard workers.
