POTENTIAL RAIL STRIKE ACTION IN CANADA
Workers on Canada’s national railroads have announced a strike starting May 22, 2024, if a labor agreement is not reached by then. If the strike is confirmed, the supply chain will be severely impacted, with an increase in terminal processing times for goods arriving in the country, particularly by sea, and consequently in delivery times.
Our teams are at your disposal, and will do their utmost to offer you the most suitable alternatives to limit the impact of these strikes on the delivery of our goods.
