From our friends at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce
Thanks to all who added their names as signatories to our joint letter that was submitted today to the Prime Minister, as well as Ministers MacKinnon and Rodriguez, regarding the potential labour disruption in both Class I railways. The letter was signed by more than 70 business associations and 40 chambers of commerce and boards of trade.
Regarding the decision, the Canda Industrial Relations Board ruled there is no need for essential services in the event of a work stoppage in the rail industry. The earliest a work stoppage can occur at CN and CPKC is August 22.
