The Canadian government has taken swift action to resolve a labor dispute that led to a shutdown of the nation's major freight railroads. The shutdown, which lasted less than 17 hours, posed a significant threat to both the US and Canadian economies.
Canadian National (CN) has resumed operations after ending the lockout of its 6,000 unionized employees. However, Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) remains shut down, with a lockout of its 3,000 unionized employees and a strike by the Teamsters union still in effect.
