SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD

The Surface Transportation Board is actively monitoring the potential for a rail labor strike in Canada as early as August 22, 2024. If a strike occurs, the U.S. rail network and supply chain could be affected.

The Board is aware that embargoes related to the potential strike have been issued and that the scope of the embargoes could expand in the coming days. The Board is monitoring the implementation and effects of those embargoes on the network.

Rail carriers, shippers, and other stakeholders that experience rail service disruptions related to the potential rail strike are encouraged to contact the Board’s Rail Customer and Public Assistance program. To request assistance, interested persons may email or call (202) 245-0238 or (866) 254-1792.
