CN Rail Workers Involved In Labour Dispute

The Teamsters union is warning of a potential strike or lockout at CN Rail starting on October 28th.
The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference says that its offer to continue a conciliation effort has been rejected.
The union represents some 3,300 conductors, trainmen, yardmen and traffic co-ordinators at CN.
Officials say the railway is using an old tactic of “pointing a gun to its workers’ heads to force them to make concessions.”
They add that the concessions being sought would see CN workers work longer hours with less rest time in between trips.
They’ve been without a contract since the middle of July.
