Don't trust any off them..always have union representative with you,even pay a solicitor to help

There are no pros with management,your just a number and they don't care about there drivers

Most roles are unionized, which means annual pay increases are negotiated for you — you don’t have to constantly prove your worth to receive them. Compensation is generally higher than comparable private-sector roles, often with a more manageable workload. Paid days off are provided throughout the year and are released quarterly. Most colleagues are collaborative and enjoyable to work with. Comprehensive benefits and a solid pension plan. A generally good work-life balance.

When taking time off, the workload is not always redistributed, which can mean returning to a backlog of tasks. Annual salary increases are tied to the collective agreement and are typically modest (2–4% per year). Advancement opportunities can feel limited for highly ambitious individuals, and the promotional process can sometimes feel political rather than performance-based. There is a strong focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives, which some employees may find challenging if they prefer a more traditional work environment. Organisational culture can feel minimal or inconsistent, which may not suit those looking for a strong sense of community at work. The organisation has a high level of bureaucracy, with many approval layers that can slow decision-making and project execution. Projects and budgets can often run over scope or timeline, leading to frustration for teams trying to deliver results efficiently.
