Talks continue to be off-track between Canadian Pacific, CN rail, and the Teamsters union.
The Teamsters' Union overwhelmingly voted for strike action earlier in June but has been on hold due to federal moves to label rail lines as essential workers.
The union initiated another vote on June 14 to renew the strike mandate, which lasts only 60 days. The vote is expected to conclude on June 29, the day before the union’s existing mandate expires.
A Canadian Pacific statement thinks it's unlikely the Teamsters would be in a position to strike before mid-July.
There is a lot of concern on the effects that this strike could have if it overlaps with Harvest, and grinds grain movement to a halt.
