# Update on possible dual rail strike at CN and CPKC: Union planning second strike vote - RealAgriculture

> 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. The railways do not expect a work stoppage before mid-July, and the timing of the Canadian Industrial Relations Board decision remains unclear.

## Why it matters

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.
