MONTREAL — Bargaining between workers and the country's two largest railways is set to resume Thursday morning after breaking off shortly before midnight — a deadline that left workers locked out by Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Kansas City in their first-ever simultaneous work stoppage.
The impasse affects upwards of 32,000 commuters in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, whose lines run on CPKC-owned tracks. Passenger trains cannot roll along those rails without the locked-out traffic controllers to dispatch them. Pressure from industry groups and government to resolve the bargaining impasse has been mounting for weeks, with calls to hash out a resolution ratchetting up further now that the work stoppage has kicked off.
Parties bargained late into the night Wednesday at hotels in Montreal and Calgary before talks broke off shortly before midnight."The railroads don't care about farmers, small businesses, supply chains or their own employees. Their sole focus is boosting their bottom line, even if it means jeopardizing the entire economy," said Teamsters president Paul Boucher in a statement early Thursday morning.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called on both sides on Wednesday to work out a deal at the bargaining table.
