CP Rail trains have ground to a halt across the country after thousands of workers walked off the job early Sunday morning.
The strike involving nearly 3,000 engineers, conductors and other train employees took effect at 1 a.m. ET, after both the company and the workers’ union dug in their heels over a long-simmering contract dispute.
The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference issued a release just before midnight saying a lockout was being initiated by management at the Calgary-based railway.
The union then issued a subsequent release which said that in addition to the lockout, Teamsters Canada Rail Conference members were also on strike at CP throughout the country with picketing underway at various Canadian Pacific locations.
