From The Canadian Chamber of Commerce
I am writing to inform you of the Canada Industrial Relations Board decisions regarding the Minister of Labour’s directions under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code.
The Board has concluded that it has no authority to review the ministerial direction or the exercise of ministerial discretion under section 107 of the Code and that it does not have discretion to vary or to not implement the direction.
Both railways and their employees represented by the TCRC are directed to resume their duties by 00:01 EDT on August 26, 2024, and to continue such operations and duties until the final binding interest arbitration process is completed.
The term of the collective agreements that expired on December 31, 2023, are extended to include the period beginning on January 1, 2024, and ending on the day on which new collective agreements between the parties come into effect.
Final binding interest arbitration is imposed to resolve the outstanding terms of the collective agreements, and the parties are directed to attend a case management meeting with the Board on August 29, 2024, to discuss the implementation of the arbitration process.
