The Teamsters union representing about 9,000 CN and CPKC rail workers will hold a second strike vote from June 14 to June 29, because the current strike mandate expires June 30.

A second strike mandate keeps a near-term risk to Canadian grain and input movement alive, supporting export-linked grain prices and freight costs if the stoppage proceeds.
