CN has reported that the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), which represents approximately 750 employees in Canada, has given a 72-hour notice of its intention to strike commencing Saturday, June 18 at 11:00am EST. CN remains optimistic that an agreement can be reached without a labour disruption and indicated that in the event of a strike, they are prepared to implement an operational contingency plan which would ensure a normal level of continued safe operations as long as required.
