CN and CPKC, I love ya, but no one's going to buy the bullshit that stalling and pushing for binding arbitration is what constitutes being serious and engaging meaningfully at the negotiating table.
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.
