I think it is a union problem as much as it is a public sector problem. Just so happens the government is incompetent as it is, and having unions for all of their workers doesn't help.
I don't think it's a cop out though. You already said that you think private would cost more, and you know that we aren't given a choice between a crown corp and a 2% tax reduction....it's spent money. So basically why not have it operate as a crown corp. and preserve it as an essential service?

The part I'm not getting into is the number of sick days or how much per hour. CP has no sympathy for anyone doing a job other their own! Frankly I've used more than 23 sick days this year...and I used to be the guy who received awards for not missing any days...life happens.

As far as how much peole get paid, I just don't think its very much money. I know that many would like to see them paid minimum wage or something near that though...
