CN Rail recalls workers to prepare for the smooth handling of bumper grain crop
MONTREAL — Canadian National Railway Co. says it has recalled laid-off employees to handle the start of what is expected to be bumper grain crops in Canada and the United States.
“We’re handling and ready to handle more of the crop that has been produced,” chief operating officer Mike Cory said Tuesday after the Montreal-based carrier reported third-quarter results.
He didn’t provide details of how many workers are impacted by the change or where they are located.
“In order to deliver the efficient, reliable service the supply chain requires, we recalled employees back to work. We’ve repaired grain cars and deployed them close to our customers so they are ready for use after harvest,” said Cory.
