BC Rail Lockout Notice After Failed Negotiations
BC Rail and the Council of Trade Unions failed to reach a negotiated settlement. A lockout will take effect at 0001 hours on Monday, December 10, 1984. The railway seeks to reduce train and yard crews from three to two, a change already in force with most North American railways, with UTU Locals 4923 and 1778 opposing. The move aims to boost efficiency amid deregulation and competition, promising attrition rather than layoffs while UTU contract demands remain restrictive.
