Unifor says it has yet again pushed back the deadline for a strike by Via Rail workers that could lead to the immediate suspension of passenger rail services…
Union spokesman Hamid Osman said earlier that “talks are progressing” when he said the deadline had been pushed back from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. EDT on Monday.
Unifor initially issued a 72-hour strike notice to the national rail carrier on Friday, indicating 2,400 employees were prepared to walk off the job if a new contract could not be negotiated by 12:01 a.m. on Monday. Unifor’s national secretary-treasurer said in Sunday’s statement that its bargaining committees are “steadfast” in pursuing a deal that “respects and values” workers.
Early Monday morning, Via Rail issued its own statement, saying it is committed to reaching a fair and reasonable agreement.
