This is just how it is in Canada too, at least in Ontario we have a recent "right to disconnect" law. Whenever I work with US tech companies and have to leave for a meeting they're like "oh we can just continue this on the weekend or after hours" and I'm just like okay but I work 9-4 so I won't be there.

It's the same in the US if you're unionized. My union operates in Canada too and from what I've been told our contracts are pretty similar, apart from pay scale varying by district council and currency.

I'm unionized in Canada as well as a power sector worker, although I work in IT. The contract negotiations are very compensation-focused not necessarily focused on enhancing what is already law.
