The main obstacles to reaching an agreement remain the companies’ demands, not union proposals.

Neither CN nor CPKC has relented on their push to weaken protections around rest periods and scheduling, increasing the risk of fatigue-related safety issues. CN also continues to demand a forced relocation scheme, which could see workers ordered to move across the country, tearing families apart in the process.

Annnnd they're back to work. Say what you will about any political party - when it becomes real the govt of the day (Libs, Cons, NDP Coalition) caves to the financial class and ~~scabs~~ busts the union.

Watch out PSAC, OPSEU, NUPGE, CUPW, Air Can Pilots. You're next.
