CN and Canadian Pacific Kansas City were to resume operations following the Canadian Minister of Labour’s announcement that he would exercise his authority under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code.

CN and Canadian Pacific Kansas City have locked out employees who are Teamsters Canada Rail Conference members after the railroads and the union could not come to a labor agreement.

CN said it has issued notice to the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference formally advising them of its intention to lockout Canadian TCRC-represented employees at 12:01 a.m. on Aug. 22 unless an agreement or binding arbitration is achieved before that time.
