MONTREAL - A decision obliging more than 9,000 Canadian rail workers to stay on the job is a win for the railways and could impact bargaining in other federally-regulated sectors like aviation, the head of a Canadian rail workers' union told Reuters.
Air Canada said on Sunday its intent is to reach a negotiated settlement with the pilots over the coming weeks. The dispute, which triggered a first ever lockout of Teamsters workers on Thursday at both freight rail carriers, led to unprecedented disruptions that threatened to hammer Canada's export-driven economy, leading agricultural businesses to plea for relief.
The 58-year-old Boucher, who once struggled to keep his on-call rail job while raising a child as a single dad, has been bargaining with CN out of a second floor conference room at a downtown Montreal hotel. The Air Line Pilots Association which represents Air Canada pilots, and CPKC were not immediately available for comment.
