Excerpt:

A railway shutdown would have consequences in big ways and small

For the first time, Canada's two main railway companies, Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), are on the verge of a simultaneous labour stoppage.

The companies say they will start locking out workers in the early hours of Thursday if they cannot reach a deal, while the union says it is ready to call a strike for that day.

The Teamsters union is demanding better wages and benefits, including provisions for fatigue management and better crew scheduling.
