Massive GO rail upgrades and tolls could quickly counter this but they’ve decided to go all in on another useless highway that will likely be sold for pennies on the dollar.

Not even young people. My company is setting up and firing their older staff to replace with TFW because cheaper… while simultaneously holding meetings about deteriorating deliverables quality…

The problem is management isnt willing to negotiate. Everything here is done in bad faith and they plan to use politics to force their way. All workers want is a cost of living wage; while CNR wants to cut EVERYTHING significantly. All from a company posting record profits.

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.

I just want to be able to afford both food and rent in the job I studied 7 years to achieve; not be under threat of being replaced by a know-nothing with fake credentials from another country because cheaper.
