MONTREAL — The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers says it has given Canadian National Railway a 72-hour strike notice.
The union represents about 750 employees at CN who work in signals and communications.
It says that barring a negotiated settlement, the union will be on strike as of the start of Tuesday, Jan. 28.
A statement from CN says it is aware of the notice and has a contingency plan in place.
The railway says it's focused on keeping the supply chain moving.
The union says it's backed by a 95 per cent strike mandate as it pushes for better work-life balance and higher pay.
