I'd hope this would make an impact in their reelection chances, but I don't think they were doing great with the union crowd to begin with and the Conservatives won't be very good on these issues either.

You know what might? Interfering on the side of CUPW. Fire an exec or two for blocking negotiation resolution. It's a crown corporation and they can do that as fat as I can tell. Scream from the rooftops that they've replaced them with labor friendly ones.

But, they're NOT on the side of labour. They're on the side of CHEAP labour. If anything, they are in opposition to labour interests.

For sure. I'm saying in case they decide to switch sides, or at least appear to for a bit.

The ambitions and interests of Trudeau might (for the sake of argument) be, "do whatever it takes to stay in office," but the interests of the people who have the power to put him there are, "maximize my financial profits." He is going to be thrown under the bus exactly so that these sorts of reforms don't have to become a serious option for another ten years.
