I hate to see people losing their jobs too. The unfortunate reality is -- the letter mail volume is no longer there to justify that large a labour force, and will continue to dwindle for some time. I totally understand the union's raison d'être is to prevent its members from losing their jobs. But CP is not a charity, and shouldn't be charity, esp when it has been repeatedly getting bailed out by taxpayer dollars. IMO, the CP union is better off working with CP's senior management to work out viable severance packages and how a portion of their members can be transitioned to support a new and viable parcel delivery model. Their members and the general public will be better served if they were to do that.
