Nearly 130 Canadian truck drivers were told not to report for work, Unifor says, after the Teamsters Union said U.S. trucking giant Yellow Corp. was shutting down operations and filing for bankruptcy.

The head of Unifor’s local chapter representing the truckers said 70 employees and 58 owner-operators for subsidiary YRC Freight Canada have been affected.
