The International News Weekly CanadaNovember 22, 2019 | Toronto03Garneau says negotiated deal in CN strikewould be fastest way to end disputeTHE CANADIAN PRESSMONTREAL: For the first time,a Hindu woman lawmaker hasbeen inducted into a CanadianCabinet as Prime Minister JustinTrudeau unveiled his "strongand skilled" team of 37 ministerswhich also includes three SikhMPs.The federal governmenturged Canadian National RailwayCo. and its striking workersto continue talks in what it believeswould be the fastest way toresolve their dispute which hasstopped freight trains across thecountry."We believe that mediation,collective bargaining, is the rightway to do this, we've looked at thesituation and we feel that the twosides need to be talking to eachother," Federal Transport MinisterMarc Garneau told reporterson Friday."We believe that this is notonly the most probable, but alsothe fastest way to resolve this issueso that we can find a solutionand get CN back operating as ithas before, delivering productsacross the country." The strike atthe country's biggest railway enteredits fourth day with no resolutionin sight as round-the-clocknegotiations continue under thewatch of federal mediators.The Teamsters union saidFriday that "no substantive progresshas been made" since 3,200workers hit the picket lines earlyTuesday morning.The union claims Quebec'spropane shortage "appears to belargely manufactured" by CanadianNational Railway Co. amidrising pressure from industryand Prairie premiers to reconveneParliament ahead of scheduleand pass back-to-work legislation.Premier Francois Legaultsaid Thursday that the provinceis days away from running outof propane, which heats hospitalsand nursing homes and fuelsoperations in agriculture andmining. Tensions rose betweenCN Rail and the Teamsters CanadaRail Conference as progressstalled in Montreal late in theweek.The union framed CN's decisionto transport freight otherthan propane as "a business decision."The Montreal-based railwaycontinues to run some trainsusing locomotive engineers andsupervisors, who remain on thejob.CN Rail rejected the union'sclaim that the strike concernsworkplace health and safety, suggestinginstead that it revolvesaround worker compensation."While the current averagesalary of a Canadian conductor is$114,000 plus benefits, including adefined benefits pension plan, theunion is seeking wage and benefitimprovements beyond thosenegotiated this year with Uniforand another bargaining unit ofthe TCRC," CN said in a release.CN said it has offered to enterinto binding arbitration, with aneutral arbitrator chosen by theparties or appointed by the federalgovernment.A prolonged disruption toCN Rail -- a critical artery forimported consumer goods and akey export channel for commoditiesranging from grain to fertilizerand forestry products -- coulddent the country's economy.The strike could cost the Canadianeconomy up to $2.2 billionif it lasts through the end of themonth, and up to $3.1 billion if itcontinues until Dec. 5, accordingto TD senior economist Brian De-Pratto.A nine-day strike at CanadianPacific Railway Ltd. in 2012 drovea nearly seven per cent drop inthe goods sector that month, De-Pratto said. Federal back-to-worklegislation ended the labour disruption."Should this strike drag on,it would clearly be disruptive tothe Canadian economy and to thecompany in question," said AveryShenfeld, chief economist atCIBC Capital Markets."An extended strike risks seeinga near flattening in economicactivity to finish the year," hesaid in an email, noting fourthquarterGDP growth had been expectedto hit one per cent.Nearly two-thirds of propanetravels along the tracks at somepoint -- in Quebec, about 85 percent arrives by rail -- with therest shipped by truck, accordingto the Canadian Propane Association.As of Sept. 30, CN had shippedin 2019 some $11.33 billion in totalfreight along its 22,000 kilometresof track, which stretches fromVancouver to Halifax to the U.S.Gulf Coast.Ontario To Reward Safe EmployersWSIB To Provide an Estimated $140 Million in Financial IncentivesTORONTO: Ontario willreward its safest employerswith an estimated $140 millionfor excellence in occupationalhealth and safetyas part of a first-of-its-kindin Canada program unveiledtoday.The program, SupportingOntario's Safe Employers,will formally recognizeemployers who successfullyimplement health andsafety programs in theirworkplaces.
