Yeah, it will take a little time to clear. Most of the crap caught in the system isn't important or time-sensitive anyway. If something was very time sensitive, it should not have been sent through CP during a labour dispute. I'd be in favour of keeping the system shut down until there is a workable deal. Constant hand wringing and bickering is not working. Throw the grenade.
Maybe the last card the union has to play is get the minister on side and take their required cuts quickly in exchange for an evisceration of management at the same time. Without change on both sides, it's still doomed. CUPW members shouldn't be the only group that feels pain (and gets right sized) in this process. Given the ridiculous number of management positions, in the ballpark of one for two job cuts may actually be feasible.
How are there 22 VP's? wtf. Firing about 20 of them seems reasonable.
