It would also take the pressure off the federal government to put in back-to-work legislation, which has been very anti-union in recent cases, such as Air Canada.That is a strange thing for the union to offer. I would have thought it would strengthen their bargaining position if their strike had some public impact.....otherwise it would/could be a strike that would go un-noticed by the general public. Disrupting the lives of a large portion of the public could bring some pressure on the employer to settle.
CP would very much care about the public, because this is what could let them win the entire thing, by letting the feds end the strike quickly.
