Counter with an offer to spay and neuter them all: Striking Canada Post union demands free sex changes
Among their gripes is the fact that their employees can’t get sex change operations for free, as indicated by their inclusion of “gender-affirming care” to their benefits plan, along with other financial items.
Just as woke, the CUPW is asking for “precautionary cessation of work for pregnant and breastfeeding employees,” rather than “women.”
The CUPW did not include any of this language in their press release on the strike this morning, opting for a more conventional argument surrounding fair wages and safe working conditions.
CUPW’s website lists a swath of unresolved issues, including wage increases in line with inflation, adding 10 paid medical days and 7 paid personal days, allowing medical days to be banked, and protections against technological change.
If the government had any balls,which they don’t, they would start discussions to hire the many private courier services to take over the bulk of the delivery service from Canada Post, even if they have to subsidize some of the lesser used routes.
Alternatively, maybe appoint Jeff Bezos’ manager to run Canada Post, though I doubt he’d take the pay cut.
FYI: the postal worker’s union has sponsored a school in Cuba for years, a good Union member told me about it 20 years ago. Good communists tend to stick together.
Oh! I agree! It is interesting to note that in Regina (where I live) all the garbage pick-up is done by Lorass, a private waste management company. I think this is because the city unions who used to pick up the garbage went on strike once too often.
Our father had noted that when a business is dying, the employees go on strike more often, until the company is dead. In the 1960’s, we used to have milk, butter and cheese delivery to the door, until the milk men went on strike once too often. Drywall was invented in the late 1950’s, because too many plasterers (walls were lath and plaster on wood framing) went on strike. I know there are still a few plasterers around – mostly for help in installing plaster mouldings on ceilings or as cornices.
I truly do not think that Canada Post will be around 10 years from now. The last time they tried this nonsense was in July 2015 and the strike lasted about 2 weeks as everyone in business turned to sending/receiving invoices on line and started paying the bills with wire transfers. I mostly receive junk mail these days. This year was an uptick in my use of the services of Canada Post as I am executrix for the estate of my late sister and have needed to send bequests out by registered mail. I can wait until after the strike to send out the Christmas bequests.
There’s a postal strike? Wow, I’ll let the lads know down at the buggy whip factory!
The pony express has failed to deliver my daily pizza coupons and canadian tire flyers.
See what happens when you lose the buggy whips?!
At least they ain’t stealing my birthday cards with the $20s inside,
Go Full Postal, ye redundant sucks.
Have a nice day.
My former job had the benefit of dealing with Canada Post people at various depots. Not a useful one in the entire lot. Miserable f*ckers to deal with too. I hope they strike forever and starve to death.
The NDP/Liberal racist Party can simply order workers back to work if it’s inconvenient for them politically.
Little people have no power here, citizens, workers, average Joe minding his own business… all are tools for our government to manipulate and control. Fascist voters approve. Taxpayers will pick up the tab for sex changelings.
I’ve lived in Mexico for 4 years. For all intents and purposes, there is no mail delivery here. Haven’t missed it at all.
I was wondering why you haven’t sent us any postcards.
all l EVER needed to know about CUPW was a big grafitti on a wrecking yard fence st catharines late 70s, jean claude perot was the boss;
“40 for 30” in other words, 40 hours pay for 30 hours work. they were SO ACCUSTOMED to doing 30 hours a week because ‘their quota had been met’ they wanted it FORMALIZED AND ENTRENCHED IN THE LABOUR AGREEMENT.
L- Kate’s idea of a counter offer might be enough for her to qualify to work on the
Canadian version of President Trump’s Dept. of Gov’. Efficiency. Okay, that is a big
if, since the no political party in Canada promises to make Canada, the true north,
strong and free, again!
Canada, the National Dream re-visited…
Protections against modernization should be all you need to hear. At my old job, my position became obsolete due to technology, I moved on. That’s what should happen.
Postal Worker, an oxymoron. Triple down on that with their ‘gender affirmation care’.
Oy vey. They’ve lost their minds
I can handle the “men”. Put on some steel toe boots, guy wants a free sex change, kick “him” in the balls as hard as you can, and don’t charge. No need to spay the women, haven’t seen one ever that I would touch.
heeeeyo CUPW, HOW LONG before the next news report a postie with bags and bags and bags of UNDELIVERED MAIL in their basement??? hmmmm???? aka ‘quitcherbytching’
In case the press notices, and starts asking questions of QueP’s demands:

“The full elimination of Separate Sort from Delivery (SSD)”
So they want to go back to having the mailman who cannot read addresses properly, sorting the mail every day, instead of having a machine do it?
Eliminate Canada Post altogether. Emails and private couriers will take up the slack easily.
That was my thought too; free sex changes but make them mandatory for all Canada Post employees.
I used to work for the insurance company that had Canada Post’s benefits (medical/dental). Out of all of the companies we had under us, the only employees that had active investigations for fraud were the ones from Canada Post. I used to be on the phones there and Canada Post people were the most insufferable ones I dealt with
