Canada rail dispute: Teamsters union speaks during protest outside Liberal party fundraiser | LIVE

The Teamsters union is expected to hold a news conference on Tuesday in Halifax, N.S. as members protest outside a Liberal fundraiser. Canada’s federal labour board ordered thousands of rail workers back to work over the weekend after a brief strike. The decision came down late on Saturday, after contract disputes shut down the country's two major railways, leading to freight and shipping delays across the country. The Teamsters union, which represents workers for both the Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) railways, said in a statement that it will comply with the boards' decision — but it will appeal the ruling. “This decision by the CIRB sets a dangerous precedent,” said Paul Boucher, president of the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference. “The rights of Canadian workers have been significantly diminished today.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10712616/rail-shutdown-union-challenge-ottawa-arbitration-order/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #canada #cdnpoli #rail #cnrail #cprail #Trudeau
