The negotiations between the Teamsters Unionin and the two main rail companies, Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), have not progressed. As a result, Canada’s rail union have issued a 72-hour strike notice. If no agreement is reached, the strike will start on Thursday 22nd of August at 00.01 Eastern Time. The Canadian railway shutdown may have significant impact on the country’s freight traffic. Extra costs may occur due to special arrangements during the strike.
