Montreal, November 28, 2009 --
Court proceedings late this evening have resulted in having CN and
the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) locomotive engineers
maintain commuters’ service for the Mont St-Hilaire and
Deux-Montagnes lines operated by the Agence métropolitaine de
transport.
Teamsters Canada Rail Conference had agreed from the very beginning
to maintain the service despite the strike but CN stalled the
process until it was before the courts.
"We are relieved that the commuters won't be affected by the work
stoppage, said Daniel J. Shewchuk in a statement late Friday night.
It was never our intention to put them in a difficult position."
Teamsters Canada Rail Conference represents 12,000 railway
workers with major railroads and shortline railroads across Canada
and affiliated with the 125,000 members in Teamsters Canada and 1.4
million members in North America with the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters.

The TCRC is attempting to
address the ongoing problem of inaccurate line-ups. The first
step in addressing this important issue is to document it.
