TORONTO, Ont. - The Canadian National Railway is provoking its workers to launch a strike, Teamsters Canada Union said.
The statement comes after negotiations broke down, Friday.
The union has fired the latest volley in the labour unrest at the Canadian National Railway.
No further dates of discussions are scheduled and the company refused an extension of the conciliator's mandate.
The union has sent a strike vote by mail to its members.
The results are expected sometime between now and the end of September.
A walkout or a lockout could take place this fall.
