Here’s the full statement… “From the very beginning, rail workers have only ever sought a fair and equitable agreement,” Paul Boucher, president of Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, responded. “Unfortunately, both rail companies are demanding concessions that could tear families apart or jeopardize rail safety. Rail workers have fought for a safer and more humane industry for decades, and we will not accept moving backwards.” “CPKC wants to gut the collective agreement of all safety-critical fatigue provisions. The end result will mean train crews would be forced to stay awake even longer, increasing the risk of derailments and other accidents,” the union said. “CPKC has also failed to address the understaffing of rail traffic controllers. “CN aims to implement a forced relocation scheme, which would see workers ordered to move across the country for months at a time to fill labour shortages. CN also wants to extend workdays in all provinces west of Ontario.” Hope that helps you understand the situation a little better. Thanks for your support!
Hey, look on the bright side. If a strike happens, at least the economy gets majorly hurt then that will mean Canadians will for sure vote out Trudeau in the 2025 elections. You Canadians hate Trudeau right? Maybe a bad economic situation from a rail strike will be all that Canadians need to vote out Trudeau from the Prime Minister position.

Can't believe CPKC has only existed for a year and now they might disappeared.

2:47 well.
CN and CPKC may cease to exist if this goes on for as long as I think it will
How long does a strike usually last
All depends on the workers
#L4canada
L for the Canadians
This sucks for canader
then just railfan GO transit instead
Not everyone railfans GO or even lives by a GO line
If there’s no freight then commuter rail has free rein
ah yes that could be a problem
