VIA, GO, Metrolinx, etc use both CPKC & CN lines. The CPKC lines will be affected because there will be no Rail Traffic Control operating the signal systems or to give track authorities.Hmmm…I always recall being told that VIA was on CN lines, but maybe the reality is ‘it depends…’![]()
Well, I am sure that will solve everything…Latest from PM: sort it out, folks ....

Trudeau tells union, rail companies to solve issues at bargaining table ahead of massive strike
Strike would impact, grain, airplane fuel, all aspects of the Canadian economynationalpost.com
…or nothing.Well, I am sure that will solve everything…
The employer demands include reducing the rest between shifts from 24 hours to 12 hours. That's on top of being on call 24/7 and the possibility of being called in while on leave.My understanding is that the Teamsters got what they want, they just refuse to grant any of the employers demand in return.
Just curious how long this was?I worked for the railroad (CP) for a bit, the union is 100% justified in their demands. Rail employees are basically well-paid indentured servants, on call 24/7 with terrible work conditions, toxic management (why i hightailed out of there), draconian punishments and a good helping of corporate greed who are squeezing every penny of value out of maintenance and safety funding since the hostile takeover by Americans.
Not long, a half year. I realized I made a mistake but I needed a job something fierce. I booked it as soon as I had an opportunity. What astounded me is management gets a bonus for enforcing safety regulations - which means they got a bonus for docking pay off the employees essentially. They'd make some shit up or nitpick something tiny and penalize the guy. They certainly weren't bonus chasing. All that said, it's even half as bad here as it is for American railroaders, there's a reason these American execs are pushing for the shit they're pushing for.Just curious how long this was?
Railways are mandated by Transport Canada to have a Safety Management System and conduct safety testing.Not long, a half year. I realized I made a mistake but I needed a job something fierce.

Between 1890 and 1917, there were 230,000 on-the-job deaths of railroad employees in the United States.
Compare that to 291,557 U.S. servicemen killed in battle during World War II.
On the railroad, that comes to about 8,200 per year during that period, or 23 each day.
That's the problem. I don't think he wants it solved. It'll just add to the chaos and imposition on ordinary Canadians. It will push farmers into huge financial loss and help destroy our native agricultural industry, among other industries. This is the kind of uncertainty and strife of Canadians that he thrives on. He'll swoop in after the damage is done, impose his will and then puff out his chest as our savior. I hate this marxist ponce more every day.Well, I am sure that will solve everything…

Way to get all facty & ruin the narrative, party pooper.Meanwhile, in real life, the federal labour minister is ordering the matter to binding arbitration, and the interim extension of the current collective agreements in order to swiftly resume operations.
Looks like it’s a purely executive action by the minister, so the LPC didn’t need parliamentary support. Makes sense. I was off track (heh) speculating it would require back to work legislation.So who blinked more? Trudeau or Singh?
Meh, last I heard they weren't doing anything about it. But it's good they did. Doesn't change my view of themMeanwhile, in real life, the federal labour minister is ordering the matter to binding arbitration, and the interim extension of the current collective agreements in order to swiftly resume operations.
