WINNIPEG – Canadian Pacific Railway has been hit by a strike by 3,300 locomotive engineers and other train workers who walked out first thing Saturday morning.
Federal Labour Minister Kellie Leitch is scolding their union — the Teamsters — for what she calls “this reckless disregard for Canadians and the Canadian economy.”
Leitch hints she’s prepared to bring in back-to-work legislation.
In 2012, the Harper government passed such a bill to end a nine-day strike by 5,000 workers at CP Rail, Canada’s second-biggest railway.
