OTTAWA - For the first time, Canada 's two main railway companies - Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Kansas City - are on the verge of a simultaneous labor stoppage that could inflict billions of dollars' worth of economic damage.

CPKC, created in 2023 through a merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern, has a U.S. and Mexican network which it says will operate normally. CN also says trains on its U.S. network will run. CPKC says its offer maintains the status quo for all work rules, "fully complies with new regulatory requirements for rest and does not in any way compromise safety."

MacKinnon rejected a request last week by CN for binding arbitration, urging the sides instead to put in more effort at the negotiating table.If the Teamsters call a strike, the government can introduce back-to-work legislation forcing them to resume work. The previous federal Conservative government did that in 2012 to end a walkout by Canadian Pacific workers.
