 | | Dear Customer,
The Teamsters union is warning of a potential strike or lockout at CN Rail starting on October 28.
The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference said in a statement Monday that its offer to continue a conciliation effort, which ended October 7, has been rejected. The union represents some 3,300 conductors, trainmen, yardmen and traffic coordinators at CN.
Spokesman Roland Hackl says the union is "extremely disappointed" by CN's refusal to extend mediation to forge a contract to replace one that expired July 22.
A CN spokesman says the company is optimistic it can reach a settlement with the union "to avoid labor disruption in Canada," adding the earliest date for a strike or lockout is one minute after midnight on October 29.
Mark Hallman said in an e-mail that the two sides are scheduled to resume collective bargaining on October 21, with the help of federally appointed mediators. He said those mediators had acted as conciliators during the conciliation process that ended October 7. There's currently no disruption to CN Rail service in Canada.
We will watch this development carefully and continue to send updates as they become available.
