Does this work both ways for you? Given Canada Post is about to lock the workers out, if it results in an agreement that is better than what the union is currently offering, do you put more onus on your union since they had more power to avoid it?
Incidentally, McDonalds really went out of its way to screw up using their digital order boards in these arguments. Their new paradigm has actually resulted in an increase of employees - in Alberta at least - as they have added more people who could best be described as 'guest services' than they have subtracted order takers.
