The National Cattle Feeders’ Association (NCFA) is urgently calling upon the federal government to consider all options available to avert a concurrent work stoppage of Canada’s Class 1 railways.
NCFA was disappointed with the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) conclusion that a strike or lockout would not pose an immediate and serious danger to the safety and health of the public. This potential work stoppage, as we noted in our submission to the CIRB, would be devastating to the welfare of Canada’s national cattle herd and the individuals who care for them.
