The Canadian government, led by the labour minister, has mandated binding arbitration to resolve a labor dispute that has halted operations of the country's two major freight railroads, Canadian National and CPKC. This decision aims to end the lockouts that have disrupted the railways and forced trains to a standstill across Canada. The federal intervention is intended to resume railway operations promptly, as confirmed by a government official.
