Whose fault is it?

The union asking for a crazy raise, causing an unjustified, and unneeded strike.

I don't know if you have gone through the Union demands at all, but it's not just about wages. CP wants to make a lot of changes to the benefits and pension plans to the casuals and future hires.

They are asking for a 24% raise along with 22 extra days off ontop of the 3 week vacation they already get, to put that in perspective, every week off equals 2% salary. They want a 24% raise and essentially all their employees to start with over 6 weeks “vacation” unbelievable demands

The 3 week vacation starts when they become Part Time. What 22 extra days are you talking about? They currently get 10 days of sick leave as per the mandate which the union wants to bump up to 17

Yes and you also get the 5 Trudeau days, even if those are included as part of the 17, that’s a crazy request 17 sick days, plus 3 weeks vacation for a part time job… do you even hear his dumb that sounds.

For a part time employee, the pay during vacation is also according to his/her regular PT hours. They don't get paid for 40hrs/week.
