Was I happy? No. Was I furious? No. I understood the economics and the situation we were all in.
The vacation schedule is good, but not outlandish as the article pointed out as implying everybody got 7 years vacation. I will concede that point.
If Canada Post pays out the "sick" days, but eliminates sick day banking from now on, would the Union accept?
Note that even if STD is categorized as "sick days", most companies don't let people bank STD either.

I can't say for sure if the union would accept if they paid out accrued sick days and eliminated it going forward. From the posties I've talked to and the impression they have gotten from their co-workers they probably would.
My point about the sick days is that CP chose to accept banking them in their previous deals with the union so I don't know why all the fallout is falling on the workers? It's not like CP agreed to banking holidays only for the last contract, it has been ongoing for many contracts with the union. CP is just looking for an easy way out of something their poor management agreed to for many years. If I make a poor decision in life more times than not I am not let off the hook, why should this billion dollar company get off without a slap on the wrists?
