Labor Dispute Halts Rail Freight in Canada, Raising Supply Chain Concerns
The shutdown could disrupt trade with the United States and other countries, as well as causing serious economic consequences within Canada.

Rail freight traffic in Canada came to a standstill early Thursday as the country’s two main rail companies locked out about 10,000 employees, a move that could cause supply chain disruptions in the United States and serious economic consequences within Canada.
The move follows months of contract talks that failed to reach an agreement. The two companies, Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Kansas City, said before the lockout that their extensive routes within the United States would continue to operate, but many businesses there are likely to be affected.
