I've been on a strike and know what strike pay is and how it doesn't cover wages. At the same time workers can do other jobs during a strike to cover wages lost which is what I did.

In this case Canada post did not even give all their proposals to the union, with how you put it, essentially guaranteeing a strike, the same argument could be made that the union was going to agree with all their proposals once received. We will never know in either case, for either of us to make any statements based on best guesses and put them forward as likely outcomes is fairly pointless. Sticking with the facts, the company is doing well, yet they seem to not want to negotiate with their employees.

You have the union putting it's best spin out there to make CP look bad in an attempt to gain favour from Canadians saying they don't want to negotiate when in reality it may not be the case. You can't take the union at face value and the same with CP as there things going on behind the scene that we don't know about.
The facts are taxpayers had to bailout CP when it was losing money. Something the union fails to remeber.
