Workers say they’re concerned about long hours, dangerous conditions
About 3,200 Canadian National Railway conductors, trainpersons and yard workers are on strike after the union and company failed to reach a deal by the midnight ET deadline.
The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, the union representing the employees, gave the required 72-hour strike notice on the weekend.
Union spokesperson Christopher Monette says they are still in talks with CN in hopes of reaching a negotiated settlement and ending the labour dispute as soon as possible.
