Canada Ready to End CP Strike 'If Necessary' | Journal of Commerce


The Canadian government is ready to legislate the end of the Canadian Pacific Railway strike that began earlier today “if necessary,” according to a report.

Labor Minister Lisa Raitt wouldn’t say when the government would propose back-to-work legislation, according to Canadian Business. CP service in Canada, not within the U.S., was suspended after railroad management and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference failed to agree to a contract before the midnight Tuesday deadline.

"This morning I have already put on notice a bill to ensure that we are in the position to be able to introduce legislation," Raitt said Wednesday. "We want to make sure the effect on the economy is being brought to people's attention and that we're keeping it in mind as it proceeds."

Our current Federal Gov't does not appear to be really happy with Labour Groups
when they go out on Strike...(Air Canada, the Post Office, now CP Rail...)

As they should be. The businesses that benefit from Gov funding or legislation shouldn't have the right to disrupt business and commerce across the country. IMHO.

Wonder if rail strikes create temporary upticks in expediting or trucking in general ?
