Business groups advocating for rail to be declared an essential service in the wake of this week's temporary work stoppage at Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. say a “permanent solution” is needed to ease this country's supply chain woes.

In an interview Wednesday, Fertilizer Canada president and chief executive Karen Proud said that since 2019, her industry has dealt with strikes at Canadian National Railway Co. and the Port of Montreal, in addition to the most recent labour dispute at CP.

“We every few years seem to get stuck in the same situation. Sometimes a couple of times a year,” she said. “In the long-term, we're really hoping that the government will look at this.” She said while some of the issues that have plagued Canada's supply chain in the past two years have been beyond anyone's control, “man-made issues” like labour disputes can be addressed.

In an interview earlier this week, federal Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan said that when the dust from this recent negotiation and work stoppage at CP settles, it may be time for the government to look at finding a way to bring more certainty to future contract talks.

What the capitalists mean is they want the state to further suppress the workers so that there are no disruptions to profit making.

For anyone interested in a key point as to why they union workers vote to strike every time.

I suggest you hire a process improvement consultant. If you don't know one, I will gladly recommend one just ask. SeamusORegan

Wonder how would that be achieved? By trampling on the rights of workers?

Do not worry Trudeau will make up a new law or emergency act to fit ?

Send it by trucks since everyone was so hyped about them eh...😏😏🤷‍♂️

Meaning no worker's rights I guess? My grandfather, an old school longshoreman, would tell industry to go to hell
