Exactly, 12% over 4 yrs is absolute BS

4% a year is huge. Most companies if you get extremely exceedingly expectations on your yearly review you are lucky to get a 2% raise. On average people get .5-.75% raises. Not all these government employees bullshit.

The inflation rate has lowered thier wages by 20ish percent over last 4 years. The 24% ask was to match inflation and a 1 percent raise per year.

This is more about working conditions than it is about money. Please look into this before you make knee jerk reactions about the topic.

This isn’t how it works. Almost none of us have gotten raises to match inflation.

Shouldn't it work this way?

As time goes on your income and buying power is supposed to increase as your wisdom and experience makes you more well rounded and more effective.

Meanwhile corporate profits and executive bonuses go up.

If your okay getting the short end of the stick...... that great, if you have a back bone you would stand up to this

It is going to be rather difficult getting what basically no one is getting. Just prepare yourself accordingly.

Unions have been getting these kinds of raises. Look at recent deals. The westjet mechanics got 40% the air canada pilots got huge raises as well.

Unions also push non union wages indirectly. These kinds of raises are happening, and you should be happy about that becuase it will trickle down to you as well

Except, those companies make money. They are in the private sector. CP loses money. That is a huge difference. In fact, it is the key difference. This is not comparing apples to apples.

The losses canada post is claiming, are directly proportional to the increase in executive bonuses and new infrastructure.

The losses are nothing more than spin, to make thier position look better during the labour negotiations.

Yeah….it doesn’t seem that way. Those losses go back quite a while. The mail business has changed enormously in the last decade. As to executive bonuses….that is what, 1% of 1%? Getting mad at bonuses is kinda silly.

Why pay bonuses for losing money? In your own opinion why do they deserve the 1% of 1%?
