CP RAIL WORKERS WALK OFF JOB

    CP Rail trains have ground to a halt across the country after thousands of workers walked off the job early Sunday morning.
    The strike involving nearly 30,000 engineers, conductors and other train employees took effect at 1 a.m. ET, after both the company and the workers' union dug in their heels over a long-simmering contract dispute.

    The work stoppage threatens supply lines already struggling from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
   Roughly 45 Canadian industry groups said Thursday that any disruption would hinder Canada's freight capacity and hurt the broader economy as it grapples with inflation, product shortages, rising fuel costs and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
