Well folks there seems to be some union haters in here! I worked for the CNR Toronto for 31 years and I can tell you now if there were no union the company could just about do what it wanted to with workers, jobs and pay. I was not a big fan of the union, but with out it things would have not been as good. most of what I am reading in here is about the running trade, well I was not in that part of the railway I was a trucker and a heavy Equipment operator ie,Containers. As some are saying, yes seniority does count, if you qualified for the job. But what if you wanted to do another job in the railway and you were not qualified to do that job! The only way that I could get the heavy equipment job was to be trained, at that time, you could only get trained by bidding summer holiday relief. You had three days to prove that you had ability and potential to do the job, if you didn't you were disqualified, if you did then you got fifteen days of training and then you got the job. WL
