Thousands of Fred Meyer workers in the Portland area plan to walk off the job early Wednesday, striking over alleged breaches of labor relations laws and amid contentious contract negotiations.

The United Food and Commercial Workers Local 555, which represents roughly 4,500 Fred Meyer workers across the Portland area, told The Oregonian/OregonLive on Tuesday that the strike would begin at 6 a.m. Wednesday and continue nearly a week, until 8 a.m. next Tuesday.

Excerpt:

A railway shutdown would have consequences in big ways and small

For the first time, Canada's two main railway companies, Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), are on the verge of a simultaneous labour stoppage.

The companies say they will start locking out workers in the early hours of Thursday if they cannot reach a deal, while the union says it is ready to call a strike for that day.

The Teamsters union is demanding better wages and benefits, including provisions for fatigue management and better crew scheduling.
