The Canada Industrial Relations Board made the decision after Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon asked it on Thursday to end an impasse in separate talks
Sonja Dodd chants with her fellow locked out CPKC employees at the CPKC Toronto yard, after Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Kansas City locked out workers following unsuccessful negotiation attempts with the Teamsters union, in Toronto, on Aug. 22.
Air Canada said on Sunday its intent is to reach a negotiated settlement with the pilots over the coming weeks. The dispute, which triggered a first ever lockout of Teamsters workers on Thursday at both freight rail carriers, led to unprecedented disruptions that threatened to hammer Canada’s export-driven economy, leading agricultural businesses to plead for relief.
“This historical moment is so extremely important that labour needs to get involved and they will,” Boucher said.Other unions could participate as intervenors in their legal case and lend moral support to the Teamsters, Boucher said.
