Sorry, my phrasing wasn't clear. It was meant in the sense of "the 48h clause would have been a nice one to actually uphold". I understand it was promised and then not delivered; when I say "in calling surprise strikes at midnight that are necessarily and understandably going to enrage the public", the enraging part is from the surprise-ness. Of course, lots of people would be enraged with a midnight strike even IF 48h were not previously promised. But even more so, given that they were.
I don't think Edmonton's transit union will ever strike because it would impact too few people to shock the city into doing something. Sigh.
