Possible work stoppage at Canada's two largest railroads could disrupt US supply chain
==========
Canada's two largest railroads, Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) and Canadian National, are shutting down shipping networks due to a labor dispute with the Teamsters union; potential lockouts or strikes could disrupt cross-border trade with the U.S.; CPKC will stop all shipments starting August 20, 2024; Canadian National has barred container imports from U.S. railroads; both railroads handle about 40,000 carloads of freight daily, valued at $1 billion; negotiations have been ongoing since November 2023, with contracts expired at the end of 2023; union demands focus on crew scheduling, rail safety, and worker fatigue; CPKC spokesman Patrick Waldron emphasizes commitment to avoid a work stoppage; analyst Jeff Windau warns of significant supply chain issues if stoppages last longer than a few days.
