Traffic at Canada's two largest railways, Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), is set to resume following a federal labour board decision that ended a work stoppage affecting over 9,000 workers. The Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) ordered the companies and workers back to work at 12:01 a.m. Monday, amid ongoing contract disputes with the Teamsters union. This decision is crucial for Alberta's economy, which heavily relies on freight transport, particularly in agriculture and energy sectors. CPKC has indicated that it may take several weeks for the railway network to recover fully from the disruptions, while the Teamsters union plans to appeal the CIRB's decision. Additionally, the economic impact of the shutdown was estimated at up to $341 million per day, highlighting the urgency of restoring operations. Both CN and CPKC expressed their commitment to complying with the CIRB's order and resuming normal operations as quickly as possible.
