Globe and Mail- Canada Post workers reject latest contract offer
Approximately 70 per cent of postal workers voted against their employer’s final offer, which the Canadian Union of Postal Workers had characterized as a deal that would erode employees’ job security and pension benefits, as well as expand part-time work at the expense of full-time jobs.
Globe and Mail- Canada Post is a case study in Canadian dysfunctionality
Paradoxically, the stakeholders who would be expected to have the keenest interest in ensuring the corporation’s viability are blocking the company’s ability to succeed. CUPW refuses to allow Canada Post to hire a dedicated force of flexible weekend workers. Meanwhile, workers, who get overtime pay for weekend work, earn more – roughly $30 per hour to start – than their counterparts at unionized competitors and vastly more than their counterparts at non-unionized competitors.
Fire them all and start over!
Make Canada Post Great Again
betcha they cant do that without 85 billion in severance.
aka ‘solllllliDAREity fer EEEEEver, solllllliDAREity fer EEEEEver!!!
hey cupw why not while yer at it revive the old j c parrot era’s ’40 for 30’?
remembuh dat?? 40 hours pay for 30 hours work?? pffft you were just formalizing and entrenching whut had already been a tradition !!!
speaking of traditions, feel free to carry on the one you shoot yerself in the nuts
with outrageous irrational demands. now THAT is sumptin yer good at.
and toss in some antisemitism !!! (is that why l never met a jewish letter carrier?)
go ahead l dare ya to
If there were a postal strike … would anyone notice? Would anyone care?
Not possible. They’ve never been great.

Holy cow, I forgot there was a postal strike last November. Huh, funny how it didn’t affect my life one iota.
I remember the postal strike well because it looked like a 1930’s soup kitchen line complete with burning trash barrels and I’m just down the road from the postal facility.
One day a week delivery is all thats required.
What a white elephant. Oof, that’s racist.
hard to tell in the pic what’s the advertising and whats the grafitti.
and the hatch is ajar?
‘no rain no sleet’ etc apparently doesnt apply to the actual mail l guess . . .
buzzy: heh heh good one.
Marx Carnage will turn Canada Post into a pretend to work and get paid by the taxpayers scam. Far too many Kanadians, especially in the public sector, treat employment with fat paycheques and lavish welfare benefits as a basic human right.

Too late. Been that way for years already.
Shut ‘er down.
Amen.
Fire. Them. All. 50,000 completely unemployable, useless eaters. No EI either, they had a chance to work and didn’t take it. Of course, that would take a politician with stones, and hard to imagine in a country without any. Shithole.
One might wonder at what point in time will these posties come to terms with the irrelevancy of their business in a digital world.
Their time has long past and many of them should have been preparing for a career change long ago. It’s getting a bit late now.
Their most demanding skillset is a reasonable knowledge of the alphabet, and you are expecting thinking on second order effects?? The last election proved most Canadians from all walks of life can’t see past a week, if that. Shithole.
Your comment will make sense when the transporter from Star Trek is invented. Until then I need individual packages to move from point A to point B which is my front door.
The problem is partly the greedy unions, but a large share belongs on a business model that charges the same stamp price to move an item across Toronto as it does to move the same item from Toronto to Tuktoyaktuk.
Privatize the whole flucking thing.

You actually get delivery to your front door of Canada post packages? I usually get the notice of package delivery shoved into my condo mailbox, because the postal worker is too lazy to deliver it to the concierge
l got just the thing for them. in keeping with the issue of new technology and their penchant for cautiously approaching change: train them all in the science ov . . . .
ovvvv . . . . . . . . . . . . . . shoeing horses.
in keeping with a return to previous means of delivering mail a new pony express !!!
Have Amazon deliver the mail. The amount of their trucks I see on my street each and every day will more than handle the extra load of 95% flyers and 5% real mail. The paradigm has shifted, Canada Post just hasn’t got the memo (lost in the mail?) Thanks to the Seinfeld tv show, whenever I think of postal workers, the fat, lazy slob Nueman comes to mind.
And give the kids back their flyer routes.
It will be amusing to watch how Herr Carney deals with a postal strike…..Canada is in for a world of hurt due to the tariff situation and a postal strike will give an indication of whether that wimp has any spine.
Most of my important mail arrives via email now, except for a few that refuse to go with it. Many times, it was too troublesome to actually match up the address on the mail with the address on my house. Never did receive some items.
Small business depends on it to a large degree, and the government knows it.
Canada is tanking, the Liberal Party is going down with the ship.
The future of the West is bright.
