CAW vows no CN strike for 3 months

Article Abstract:

Canadian National Railway Co.'s (CN) Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) has assured shippers that they will not go on strike for at least three months in an effort to obtain more time for negotiating a labor contract. The union also warned the shipping industry about a possible worker lockout that will be instigated by CN by late July, 1998. Abe Rosner, a national representative with the union, said that they will not be responsible for any stalls in the negotiation, since the company appears to be pushing for a lockout or strike. However, CN spokesman Scott Roberts said that the company also seeks to settle a contract with the union as soon as possible.

The layoff adds to the 1,275 jobs eliminated since summer 1998.
