A labour stoppage at Canada’s two main railways that halted freight shipments and snarled commutes across the country is poised to last only four days.
It’s slated to end first thing this morning after the federal labour board ordered Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Kansas City and their workers to resume operations.
The full financial impact of the shutdown remains unclear, however credit rating agency Moody’s warned the shutdown could cost the economy 341-million dollars per day with agriculture, forestry and manufacturing among the hardest-hit sectors.
