Ag Transportation Working Group Pushes Canadian Government to Act Swiftly to Avert a Rail Strike
May 09 2024
On May 9, 2024, ARA along with the National Grain & Feed Association (NGFA) and several other national food and agricultural industry groups sent a letter to Canada’s Minister of Labor to urge their government to take swift action to avert a rail strike that could begin as soon as May 22, 2024.
The letter states, “A rail stoppage would lead to shutdowns or slowdowns of rail-dependent facilities resulting in devastating consequences to national and global food security.”
Operational railroads are essential to both sides of the Canadian-U.S. boarder for an integrated North American supply chain.
