Canadian National Railway (CNR-T) the federal government faced mounting calls Sunday to legislate striking Canadian National Railway employees back to work.

Across the country representatives from several industries warned of imminent shutdowns and layoffs if the strike continues for a prolonged period and called for Ottawa to do something.

Grain Farmers of Ontario chief executive officer Barry Senft says: "They have to be getting at this, you can't say quick enough. This is just the worst possible way you could go into this harvest." CN itself warned Saturday it would temporarily lay off 70 workers starting Thursday at its Halifax port operations due to lack of activity.

Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit, "If we haven't seen some action by noon Monday we are really going to be asking the federal government to really step into this, implement something and get the trains moving again as quickly as possible."

A prolonged strike will "have a huge impact on our economy. We're very dependent on rail freight transportation." CN and the Teamsters union continued negotiations over the weekend but had no agreement by Sunday evening.
