Arlington, VA – The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) today released the below media statement in response to the Canadian government ordering binding arbitration in the labor dispute between Teamsters Canada and the CN and CPKC railroads:
“TFI applauds the Canadian government’s efforts to take action to get the rail system moving again as quickly as possible. The economies of Canada and the United States are closely intertwined, and a dependable and reliable rail network is necessary to support the cross-border fertilizer supply chain and facilitate the movement of critical agricultural inputs on both sides of the border. We also thank US government officials for their engagement with both the industry and their counterparts in Canada. TFI looks forward to continuing to work with policymakers on strengthening supply chains and domestic fertilizer supply and production.”
