CP faces service disruption in Canada due to union strike

AAR SmartBrief | May 23, 2012

An estimated 4,800 workers at Canadian Pacific went on strike early Wednesday, causing service interruptions to several industries that rely on freight rail transportation. However, most major commuter lines that use CP track will be unaffected due to an agreement between the Class I and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference. Some speculate that the government could intervene. The strike does have the potential to affect railroads with whom CP does business, said CP spokesman Ed Greenberg.
