"Any federally regulated company, it's a win for them at this point," Boucher told Reuters in his first interview since the Thursday lockout. "This is disastrous for labour, for workers."

That title is a bit of a misrepresentation of the union leader's position. It should have read:

Canadian rail decision is a win for companies; disastrous for labour, and for workers, union leader says.

To be fair, when I hear a union rep saying “this outcome was good for the employer”, I kind of assume it is consequently bad for the workers. I don’t really believe win/win situations really happen in labour agreement negos lol

Yeah, I agree, but you still have to be able to read between the lines to grock what it's saying. They left out the more important explicit part.
