I really thought that the play from the Teamsters was to let CN go back to work, since they had not actually served a strike notice. This would have allowed CPKC to continue striking, and CIRB would be OK with that since atleast 1 railroad remains operating. This would have forced CPKC to finally come to the bargaining table and hammer out a deal. Then CN just follows suit.
That all went out the window though once CN served strike notice, so I guess we just wait and see what happens.
