With both of Canada’s major rail lines threatening a potential lockout, business associations in Alberta are sounding the alarm on the potential impacts.

Wage and scheduling negotiations between CN, CPKC and the union representing 9,300 conductors, engineers and rail yard workers have been going on for months.

"Trade infrastructure is vital to the health and success of the business community in Calgary and across Alberta and Canada," said Deborah Yedlin, president and CEO of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce. "Canada’s rail systems are essential to nearly every sector of our national economy, and especially so as we approach the critical harvest and food distribution season," noted the association’s president Adam Legge in a news release.
