The Canadian government, trying to head off a crippling transport stoppage, on Monday told the country’s two main railway companies and the Teamsters union to work harder to reach labor deals.Canada – the world’s second-largest country by territory – relies heavily on rail to ship grain, fertilizer and commodities, and the country’s main business lobby group estimates losses would hit $1-billion a day during a stoppage.
“The parties must do the hard work necessary to reach agreements at the bargaining table and prevent a full work stoppage,” he said. CN Rail and CPKC have already stopped accepting shipments of hazardous goods and are winding down their operations.Canada is a major agricultural producer, and farmers will start bringing in their harvests in August and September.
