Regarding the decision, the Canda Industrial Relations Board ruled there is no need for essential services in the event of a work stoppage in the rail industry. The earliest a work stoppage can occur at CN and CPKC is August 22.
CCA will be monitoring the situation closely and will continue to advocate on behalf of Canadian beef producers to ensure lines remain open.
