> Canadian National may face a strike from roughly 3,000 employees represented by the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, with a possible walkout on November 19 if no deal is reached. Potash miners and the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan are worried about supply chain disruption during heavy November grain movements. The union continues to negotiate with the railway.
