  • Because the contract they are trying to shove through is nothing but bad for existing employees; and even worse for new ones. Huge cuts to benefits and pay, huge demands on extra working hours, shifts, and rotations; along with forcing any employee to move anywhere at any time with zero notice. All from a company posting record profits.

    The workers just want a 7% raise to keep up with inflation. Average salary is 45k unless super senior.

    Binding arbitration means at-least some of these horrendous measures would be forced.

    Strike is the only option and from what I’ve been hearing, management is just going to try to use the strike against them.




  • you’re the exception, not the norm. When I have to take the worktruck to BC its 12hr days stopping once for 200L. 3-4 day drive depending on the weather and borders. Simply can’t do that in an electric and itll be a long time before the infrastructure is ready for it. Think thats an extreme circumstance? How about Ottawa from Toronto in 6hrs? thats a STRETCH with modern long range electrics. Quebec City, the Sue, Halifax? All one day drives with gas currently. Until that problem is solved; electric is a great city runner and not much more.
