Tentative Deal Reached For CN Workers

A potential strike by CN Rail workers has been avoided.

A tentative deal between the company and the Teamsters union  was reached yesterday.

No details will be released until the 3-thousand conductors and yard workers have had a chance to vote.

The workers were prepared to walk off the job as early as this weekend.

The federal government says a work stoppage would have had damaging effects the economy and were prepared to intervene if necessary.
