# Transportation Roundup: Intermodal transport industry eyeing potential strike, SSGA watching changing sailing dates - U.S. Identity Preserved Alliance

> The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference is voting from April 8 to May 1 on a possible strike at CN and CPKC, which would cover about 8,500 workers. Talks continue with a federal conciliator, and a 21-day cooling-off period would begin May 1. CN has signaled a more positive tone than CPKC, which serves North Dakota and Minnesota grain elevators.
