Also with the damage mostly already being done with parcel posts going to their competition, and normal mail being easily replaced by electronic, there's no need for CP to rush people back to work with a deal that continues to bloat the pension, and increases payroll.
The government has basically said they're not going to intervene, so I think the expectation is to break the resolve of the union.
So um have a nice summer.

Trudeau has said he won't intervene, sure, because it makes a great "I'm not Harper" statement.
If this drags on more than a couple weeks though, how long do you think it will be before CUPW is all over him demanding he do something to protect them from the process?
