Mont Belvieu, Conway Spots Show Modest Gains

摘要

In a week that saw sustained burdening of Midwest propane infrastructure already straining to keep up with lofty space heating and crop drying demand, Canada joined the struggle after about 3200 Teamsters employed by the nations largest railway, CN, walked off the job Tuesday Hie union went on strike after negotiations on a new contract broke down, stranding harvest grains in fields and shuttering manufacturing. Industry groups tallied losses in the millions as they urged the federal government to issue back-to-work legislation. The Canadian Propane Association (CPA) joined those calling upon Ottawa to end the strike, noting it had severely cut propane supplies. "It is critical that action is taken immediately. We urge the federal government to take whatever action is necessary to ensure that rail transportation of propane is not interrupted," said Dan Kelly, CPA board chairman.
