MONTREAL — Canadian National Railway faces a strike from members of the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference in mid-November following the end of a legally mandated conciliation period, the union president said Monday.
The strike could come as early as Nov. 19, said Lyndon Isaak. The union represents 3,000 CN conductors, crew, and yard personnel; 99.2% voted in favor of a strike in September. The union has said it will give at least 72 hours’ notice of any strike action.
The union’s previous agreement with CN expired on July 23. The next round of talks between the union and railroad is scheduled for Nov. 12.
