CN REQUESTS TO DELAY COUNTING OF BALLOTS

I was advised today that CN Rail contacted the CIRB and requested that the counting of the ballots in the TCRC/UTU Representation Vote be postponed until next week. Apparantly CN argued that it would be unfair to have their people be available on Friday in the face of a long weekend (interesting when considering how and when they conduct employee investigations).

In any event the CIRB ruled against CN Rail.

The ballots will be counted on Friday August 29th.
