Contract talks resumed Thursday after Canada's two largest railways locked out their employees overnight in what is an unprecedented shutdown of freight traffic across the country.
"We don't believe in letting a third party decide what's going to be the working conditions of these people for the next two, three, four, five years." "The rail shutdown at CN and CPKC is already costing workers, transit users and businesses across the country, and we cannot afford to let things get worse," Ontario Premier Doug Ford posted on X on Thursday morning.The regional transit system for southern Ontario's Golden Horseshoe region said rail service was suspended at Hamilton GO Centre and on the Milton line, which cuts through Mississauga to Toronto's downtown Union Station.
"The minister of labour must use the tools at his disposal to immediately resolve this conflict through binding arbitration," said Canadian Chamber of Commerce chief executive Perrin Beatty in a statement Thursday. Ottawa could have prevented the unprecedented shutdown, he said, but chose not to. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday called on both sides to work out a deal at the bargaining table.
As pressure mounts for federal intervention as Canada's two biggest railways grind to an unprecedented halt, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government will have more to say 'shortly' on what it's doing 'to make sure that the right solution is found quickly for the economy.'
