CP employees hit the picket lines

Picket lines have gone up in front of the Canadian Pacific rail yard in Kenora.

About 150 members of the Teamsters walked off the job just after 1:00 this morning after contract talks with C.P. broke down.

Local Union rep, Art Lockhart is hoping they can negotiate a new contract with the company.

He says pensions, some work rules and fatigue management are the major points of contention.
