We are pleased with the recent announcement from the Minister of Labour, Steven MacKinnon, to force binding arbitration. However, as we look to the future, we must implement solutions that prevent this devastating situation from happening again. Read more⬇️
We are calling for an immediate resolution to the labour dispute. While all stakeholders must return to the bargaining table and prioritize Canadians' needs, we need to take steps to ensure this never happens again. Read: hilltimes.com/story/2024/08/… #cdnpoli #cdnrail #abpoli
Mayor @JClaytonJackie of the @CityofGP joined @CBCNews to discuss the devastating consequences a rail stoppage will have on communities, industries, and Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Listen to Mayor Clayton's interview: youtube.com/watch?v=FQ5bTV… #cdnrail #abpoli
"Put simply, a rail stoppage puts our economy in harm’s way — and that hurts everyone." We echo the potential impacts a rail strike could present on our economy. Read more: leaderpost.com/opinion/letter… #abrail #abpoli #cdnpoli
Thanks to @FCM_online for hosting another successful Conference and Trade Show last week! Our members had insightful conversations with peers from across Canada about how we can build strong rail supply chains that foster economic prosperity. fcm.ca/en/news-media/… #abrail
In 2023, #Alberta exported $20.1 billion in goods by rail, including minerals, agriculture, & forestry products. That's why our supply chains need reliable rail to keep the economy going! We're focused on finding solutions to do just that. Learn: railforward.ca #abpoli
We're keeping a close eye on the ongoing rail strike negotiations... after all, rail plays a vital role in our local economy and industries. We hope for a resolution soon to ensure our supply chains stay on track. Learn more: canadiancattlemen.ca/daily/no-progr… #abrail #cdnrail #abpoli
We echo Premier @ABDanielleSmith’s statement regarding the potential negative impacts a rail strike could pose for our communities and industries! With over $20.1 billion in goods moved by rail in our province, we need to protect these critical supply chains. #abrail #cdnrail
Last week, I wrote this letter calling on Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau to take seriously the looming rail strike action by CN and CP. While we appreciate that the federal government has now referred this issue to the Canada Industrial Relations Board, they must ensure that
We share similar concerns as our neighbours in Saskatchewan when it comes to potential rail disruptions. Our province’s biggest industries rely on efficient and reliable rail service to get their goods to market! regina.ctvnews.ca/absolutely-cri… #cdnrail #abrail
Railways have long played an essential role in the vibrancy of Alberta! From the first railway tracks laid in 1882 to the network that now spans across Northern Alberta, our economy would stall without this supply chain system. Learn more: tinyurl.com/yj3x3dsh #abrail
#DYK that our membership spans across Northern Alberta and different industries? Our collaborative approach to creating resiliency in our rail supply chains means finding solutions that work for everyone. Learn more about our work: railforward.ca/about-us/ #supplychains #cdnpoli
As our region prepares for another wildfire season, it’s important to think about how our supply chains will be impacted! That’s why we’re advocating for resilient railway systems through the Community Rail Advocacy Alliance. Learn more: railforward.ca #cdnpoli #abrail
As we look to lower emissions in supply chains, we see reliable rail as a vital piece of the puzzle! For our members across Northern Alberta, rail service helps reduce emissions while still getting goods to market. Learn more: railcan.ca/101/rail-is-gr… #cdnpoli #abrail
Curious about why the Community Rail Advocacy Alliance is so important to our economic growth and community resilience across Northern #Alberta? Read more: cbc.ca/news/canada/ed… #abpoli #northernab #railforward
Without strong industries and economies supported by reliable railcar service, our communities suffer. Delays to railcar services can result in industry shutdowns, temporary work stoppages, and slowdowns in our economies. railforward.ca/why-it-matters/ #abpoli #cdnpoli #railforward
As a landlocked province, we rely on our railway system to support our economies, industries, and livelihoods. When these systems are working well, we have the opportunity to generate significant economic growth and resiliency. railforward.ca #ableg #abpoli #abmunis
“Railways are essential infrastructures critical to the health of our communities and economy. That’s why we created the Community Rail Advocacy Alliance (CRAA).” Read more: edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column… #abpoli #abrail #railforward
Providing local economies with equitable access to railcar services can be the difference in prosperity or hardship for countless industries that provide Albertans with jobs and livelihoods. Join us in advancing better railcar service: railforward.ca #cdnpoli #abrail
‼️Without equitable rail service, #Alberta is at a disadvantage. If our natural resources and products fail to reach the market, we prevent local economies from thriving. It hurts essential industries, hardworking Albertans, and rural communities. railforward.ca
Is your organization or municipality concerned about rail service in Alberta? We know our voices are stronger together and are welcoming new members to join our Alliance. Get in touch with our leadership team here: railforward.ca #abpoli
