Shutdown begins at CP Rail as two sides continue to negotiate:
The Canadian PressAn employee boards a Canadian Pacific Railway locomotive at a yard in Calgary on Friday.The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, which represents some 3,000 engineers, conductors, yard workers, and other train employees, issued a release just before midnight saying a lockout was being initiated by management at the Calgary-based railway.
The union then issued a subsequent release which said that in addition to the lockout, Teamsters Canada Rail Conference members were also on strike at CP throughout the country with picketing underway at various Canadian Pacific locations. Update: The work stoppage has begun, but CP and Teamsters are still at the table with federal mediators. Parties are working through the night. We are monitoring the situation closely and expect the parties to keep working until they reach an agreement.
TCRC spokesperson Dave Fulton called the turn of events "disappointing" saying the railway must be "taken to task" for this decision.
