Canada railway dispute: industry, workers await labour board decision

The future of an unprecedented Canada railway stoppage hinged on a decision expected Saturday from a federal labour board amid an ongoing, bitter contract dispute between the country's two largest railway companies and the Teamsters union representing thousands of their workers.

A spokesman for the Canadian Industrial Relations Board said members were deliberating and set to issue a decision later Saturday. MacKinnon's directive said binding arbitration would produce a settlement to secure "industrial peace" and protect Canada's trade relationships and sectors hit hard by the shutdown.
