Canada rail shutdown: Teamsters call decision to impose binding arbitration “not acceptable” | FULL

Speaking at a rally at Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. (CPKC) headquarters in Calgary, Alta., on Friday, Teamsters Canada National President François Laporte spoke out against the federal government’s decision to impose binding arbitration, saying it was “not acceptable.”
Laporte acknowledge that the work stoppage would impact the Canadian economy but said the best way to get to a contract was at the bargaining table.
He cited the Aug. 9 decision by the Canadian Labour and Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) that rail service was not “essential.”
Laporte said the union doesn’t believe a third party is best suited to decide working conditions, adding that the union and company know railway operations best.
