Riders of the West Coast Express are still being forced to find another method of transportation, following a nationwide labour dispute involving Canada’s two major rail lines. Teamsters Canada issued a 72 hour strike notice to CN Rail Friday and a work stoppage at CPKC, which owns the rail line for the West Coast Express, remains in effect. West Coast Express has remained out of service since Wednesday.
The union says workers from CPKC will remain off the job pending an order from the Canada Industrial Relations Board. TransLink has said trains can’t run without dispatchers and rail workers from CKPC.
Joining us now with more on the impacts on communities that depend on rail service is Maple Ridge councillor Ahmed Yousef.
