Canadian Freight Rail Stoppage Threatens Economy

Railway Labor Dispute Threatens Major Economic Impact

Canada's freight rail network, a crucial artery for the nation's economy, is on the brink of a significant disruption. This potential standstill comes after Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) issued lockout notices to the Teamsters union, representing close to 10,000 employees. Should negotiations fail, a simultaneous labor stoppage is set to commence from early Thursday, marking an unprecedented event where both rail giants face conflict at the same time.
