Canadian Government Orders Arbitration to Resolve Freight Rail Dispute

Mandatory arbitration ends lockout affecting major freight railroads, averting significant economic disruption in Canada and the U.S.

• Freight trains in Canada will resume operations after the government mandated arbitration in a labor dispute.
• The dispute involved Canadian National and CPKC railroads and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, representing nearly 10,000 workers.
• The lockout had halted over $1 billion CAD of daily freight and affected 30,000 commuters.
• Businesses in both Canada and the U.S. faced potential supply chain crises due to the stoppage.
• Previous rail stoppages in Canada have typically lasted a few days, but the dual railroad shutdown magnified the impact this time.
