Unifor says job security a top issue for workers

Via Rail is facing another possible labour disruption.

Service across Canada could be suspended next week after the union representing around 14-hundred workers served 72-hour strike notice to the company.

If there is no agreement by 12:01 a.m. on Monday, July 11th, maintenance workers, on-board service personnel, chefs, sales agents and customer service staff will be on the picket line.

Unifor says the main sticking points in contract talks are job security and the company's continued push for concessions.
