All 55,000 members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers are now on strike. That leaves some small businesses worried heading into the busy holiday season. Mary Griffin reports.
Canada post ( the crown corp. ) spent millions upon millions of dollars on buildings , and vehicles which were not needed .. this is what has caused their lost dollars … Poor management which got bonuses for doin poor jobs !
People got packages being held at Canada post, people's products that they paid money for are within those packages, wow Canada post should at least let another courier company take over and deliver.
Sorry but they make better money than most Canadians at that job level. Realistically we need to get rid of Canada Post as they are notoriously the worst postal service in Canada.I would love to see my Canada post worker there, he will literally leave slips without knocking. This has been an issue for years, try to escalate the issue through Canada post and nothing happens.
What if Canada Post just focused on distribution between cities, and allowed each city to privately hire mail delivery instead? Wouldn't that like save 80% of costs? Canada Post could be profitable again. And all the stikers could apply to the private companies. Everybody wins.
And when they get what they want in raises and benefits, you can say goodbye to all the new hires and lowest seniority employees cause layoffs will happen soon after the agreement! Canada post is broke!!
More millions for a corporation that delivers junk mail, not much more. Its a ruddy farce! I get nothing but recycles in my mail box and these fruits get paid triple the average salary to do it! Now they want their gender affirmation covered and I HAVE WAITED SIX GODDAMNED YEARS FOR PROSTSE SURGERY ON MY VERY MALE BODY!!! Bunch of frigging extortionists nothing more!
Good for them . Sucks for mail being down but gotta do what u gotta do . Inflation is crazy and all our wages need to keep up . Our union will be at the table in a few months and could end up in the same boat if expectations are not met 😊
Underworked and overpaid.

55,000 employees. When was the last time you mailed a letter? This is the biggest example of public sector problem with a private sector solution.
