CPKC says it will maintain rail operations across Canada despite workers strike

CPKC to maintain rail operations across Canada during IBEW strike

CPKC has activated contingency plans to maintain full rail operations across Canada after ~300 IBEW Signals & Communications workers launched a strike on May 31, rejecting the latest contract offers. For supply chain managers, this tests the resilience of the only single-line transnational rail network linking Canada, the U.S., and Mexico — any prolonged disruption would pressure freight capacity and logistics planning across North American corridors.
