Just the fact that it no longer balances. Actual hourly wage is not even close to well-paid.
My source(s), are a friend who tried it for two years and quit to make more money working retail, a friend’s husband who does it as a retirement gig but had to drop other part time jobs/hobbies because the scheduling requires virtually full time availability, and a friend who was a flight attendant and is currently higher up with WJ.
I mean, they’re not striking because they have cush jobs with great pay.

I agree with you there, it isn’t some cushy job where you make bank and I get why the union wants all hours to be paid, hell I would want that if I was a flight attendant too. I’d be inclined to forego a raise in this round of bargaining just to be paid for my time spent working as that would increase your take home pay significantly.
I’m of the opinion that CUPE should be looking to either get significant raises or change their hours of pay. I’m not sure what the unions demands are to be honest but if they are asking for both of the above that’s a pretty hard position to bargain from.
