The Teamsters union has served Canadian National Railway (CN) with a 72-hour strike notice, hours after saying it was taking down picket lines and workers were returning to the job.

Well they behave exactly the same way as the unions. They know the economic damage this will result in so they're holding it hostage in the hope the government will intervene on their side. Only one problem though - at the end of day, the people doing the work have the ultimate power to work or not to, even at the point of a gun.
