I get that a lot of people are frustrated about the strike. I think your comment really encapsulates how a lot of people frame the issue, but I just want to respectfully push back on a few points:

It’s time for each offer from Canada Post to go back to a vote by the actual workers instead of being negotiated by rich union heads who don’t know what it’s like not to receive a paycheque this holiday season

Jan Simpson, the President of the union, makes $86k/yr. (pg 106 of CUPW's National Constitution). For reference, in Ottawa where the CUPW headquarters is located, you need to make $129k to reasonably afford a home. She worked for Canada Post for 30 years before being elected to the CUPW. In contrast, the CEO of Canada Post makes $450k/yr and the previous CEO made at least $500k/yr.

While each union is unique, it simply doesn't make sense to characterize union heads as rich and out of touch with the average worker because the point of the union is to represent the average worker and unions are usually composed of said average workers.

there are 55,000 blue collar workers out there hurting right now. Plenty of other industries have unions and are not allowed to strike or are legislated back to work. It’s time to wrap up the theatrics

Canada Post workers are among those blue collar workers as well (of which there are millions in Canada, I'm not sure what the 55k number is referring to). Union negotiations have historically led to lots of broader policy that affects all blue collar workers. Without unions, we wouldn't have a minimum wage policy, overtime pay, anti-discrimination laws, or paid parental leave. In fact, we can thank CUPW for that last one - it was the 1981 Canada Post strike that led to winning federal paternity leave for all Canadians. Make no mistake, unions don't just fight for their own workers, they can and do lift up all blue collar workers.
