Dear Customer,
Please find excerpt from a news release issued Friday by CPKC.
“Today, the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) informed CPKC that it intends to issue its decision regarding the Ministerial Referral on the maintenance of activities by Friday, August 9. The CIRB has advised it will issue a decision without holding oral hearings.
This development helps provide some predictability regarding the timelines for a potential work stoppage because the parties cannot legally strike or lockout prior to the CIRB issuing its decision. In any event, a legal strike or lockout would require a minimum of 72 hours notice, subject to any extension of the cooling off period ordered by the CIRB. We have asked the CIRB to extend the cooling off period by 30 days.”
CN Rail had issued a very similar advisory to the industry.
We continue to monitor the situation for further developments and will advise as new information is received.
Sincerely,
HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS |
