Very interesting that the CPKC actually went on strike and the CN "locked out" employees. Same difference I guess.
The Strike lasted an hour if that. It never got going. Good thing that happened during MIR.

It was a simultaneous lockout by design. The political clout of corporate farming operations repeatedly trumps the collective bargaining process in this side of the 49th parallel, over and over. The press regurgitates the resentments over annual earnings numbers of transportation workers living with life shortening circadian rhythm disrupted, physically challenging, mentally taxing lives. Puncuated by the question what about the poor starving ( luxury brand new 1 ton truck driving , only work 5 months a year farmers ) ? Got a tropical Christmas vacation booked and sumbuddys gonna have ta pay for it, eh !!!

Kind of like a polite 21st century Marxist Leninist move, IMHO
