I actually wonder if some of this has to do with the city workers sorta slowing down and watching other unions as the strike stuff begins. I know CUPE 38 is doing the work to rule stuff as they continue negotiations. Yes, city vs province is different, but everyone kinda watches each other.
Not sure who is who in terms of some of the City of Calgary worker strikes, but I have no doubt in my mind that some departments are kinda scaling back slightly and watching other departments, even if they themselves are not striking. I've seemingly seen a lot more large open construction projects with barely anyone wandering around them. I've wondered if this is connected.
I did hear from someone that the unions did temporarily reduce their push for aggressive strike actions until after the water main is sorted out. Whether this is more for media reasons (valid) and/or because obviously union members are citizens of this city and also affected by this, doesn't matter. But what I did hear was that it was intentional to get the water main stuff sorted out before focusing on the negotiations/strike stuff again.
