- W605687070 abstract "The recent experience of the U.S. rail industry is seen by some people in Canada as a blueprint for revitalizing the Canadian railways. In 1980, the Staggers Act gave the U.S. rail industry significantly greater freedom in marketing and in network rationalization. In the following years, the industry improved its financial performance and, by some measures, its productivity. During this period, the U.S. railroads' most visible and aggressive efforts were those aimed at downsizing both their physical plant and their labor force. The end result is usually portrayed as evidence of the great success of deregulation and a valuable improvement in productivity. Before simply replicating the U.S. experience in Canada, however, it would be well to reflect upon some missed opportunities. Since rail deregulation has yet to open up rail facilities to non-union competition, the rail industry has not yet experienced the jolt of competition that has had so great an impact on trucking and air transportation. As a result, the U.S. railroads have made little headway in resolving fundamental labor issues related to work rules and pay scales relative to other industries. Consequently, the costs of providing rail service continue to be inflated far above what is technologically feasible. The rail industry, whether in the U.S. or in Canada, has two choices. One option is to accept the cost structure and serve only the traffic most suited to rail. This is the approach that has been taken, for the most part, in the U.S. This choice leads inevitably to a greatly reduced role in the market, a smaller work force, and loss of revenue. The other approach is to resolve the impasse with the unions, push unit costs down to reasonable levels, and then compete strenuously for traffic and new transportation opportunities. This paper recommends that the Canadian railroads pursue this path, the path not taken in the U.S." @default.
