Corunna’s Athletic Park filled with families for Capitan Kidd Days
Tentative deal in CN Strike
November 26, 2019
There is a tentative deal that could end the CN Rail Strike.
Teamsters Canada has reached a tentative agreement to renew the collective agreement for over 3,000 conductors, and yard workers.
The union said normal operations at CN will resume Wednesday at 6 a.m. local time across Canada.
The strike had affected commerce across the country, including on farms in Lambton County. The strike caused a shortage in propane, which about half of Ontario farmers use to dry grain.
It’s estimated it will take three to four weeks for shipments of propane to return to normal.
