The union representing rail workers announced on Friday that it has begun proceedings to overturn a federal labour board ruling ordering its members back to work pending binding arbitration.
In a statement, Teamsters rail union president Paul Boucher said the order sets “a dangerous precedent where a single politician can bust a union at will.” According to Reuters, the process could drag out for years and thus is unlikely to directly impact the Teamsters’ negotiations, but could set a precedent for future disputes.
