Teamsters Canada has reached a tentative four-year contract deal with the Canadian Pacific Railway union, ending a strike that halted rail operations. As a major shipper of grain, crude oil, fracking sand as well as forest and mining products, a prolonged Canadian Pacific strike would have dealt a significant blow to the country’s economy. Details of the agreement were withheld while union members ratify the deal.
