It appears progress is being made to clear up the blockage on Canada’s rail lines.
The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference said it has taken down picket lines at Canadian National Railway and its workers will begin returning to work today (Friday).
But, the relief may be short-lived as the Teamsters Rail Union has issued a 72-hour strike notice to CN.
The union stated the work stoppage at Canadian Pacific Kansas City remains ongoing pending an order from the Canada Industrial Relations Board.
It comes after Ottawa forced an end to the ongoing labour dispute between some 93 hundred workers and C-N and C-P-K-C by sending it to arbitration.
Federal Minister of Labour Steve Mackinnon announced yesterday (Thurs) the two sides will be forced to sit down to hash out their differences.
