A coalition of business groups is calling on the federal government to prevent a work stoppage at Canada’s two biggest railways.

Bob Masterson, president and CEO of Chemistry Industry Association of Canada, joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss the rail transport of key chemicals being halted.

Unless deals are reached, rail service at both companies is poised to stop at 12:01 a.m. EDT on Thursday. The job action by a total of 9,300 employees at both CN and CPKC would be unprecedented, marking the first-ever simultaneous work stoppage at the country’s biggest rail companies, experts say.
