Liberals ask Canada Industrial Relations Board to end dispute at Canada’s 2 largest rail companies
The federal government wanted Canada’s trains moving again and Canada’s two national railways have responded.
The announcements came shortly after Ottawa stepped in to get freight trains moving again hours after an unprecedented lockout by the country’s two largest railways brought cross-country freight traffic to a standstill. “Obviously, I’m acting at a very early stage here and hoping they will act with similar dispatch. I assume that the trains will be running within days but, again, I want to be deferential to the process that will unfold here.”
MacKinnon said the Liberal government will also examine the underlying reasons for the work stoppage. “We believe that this thing has to be settled at the bargaining table,” Teamsters Canada president François Laporte told reporters in Montreal earlier Thursday.
