Fire every last one of them and re hire. Doing this during the Xmas season is just pathetic. And the cost to send parcels with Canada post is out of hand. Wiesels in this union.
Question what grade do you need to have to qualify for a job at Canada Post grade 3 or 4 ??????????????????????
Honestly, they are way overpaid for the work they do. I hope they dont get much of a raise. They don't deserve it. They deserve just as much raise as of a delivery driver or a warehouse worker would make. Pulling this stunt right before the holidays is a B move.
Every year i dont care about the workers at all. You get paid very well your stealing xmass and we dont care what you want anymore
Canada post is already operating at a loss, how does the union expect them to stay in business when labour and benifts are already 60% of operating costs with continuously shrinking income. Their jobs are gone once Canada post gets shut down.
That is enough already time to get back to work and be thankful that you even have a job! Cheers.
you know what pisses me off is that they chose to work at canada post if u don’t like it leave, but keep my packages out of it
I have been waiting for my Christmas parcels since the beginning of November. Purolator does not help by holding my parcels hostage for the last 3 weeks just because Canada Post has an agreement with them. This is insane!
Boo hoo hoo!😂
Hope you all lose your jobs and pensions for holding taxpayer hostage
Just close down Canada post permanently
Arrest these fools
I do not trust unions after what happened to my father and with my husbands old union.
Let them go bankrupt then rebuild as a new government agency time to control the wasteful spending
Trudeau doesn't want the strike to end, because then he will be able to have everyone's tax returns filled out by the government.
Why tf do the lowest level politicans in this country make $180,000.00/yr but, fight to not compensate postal workers??
I know which carrier I won't be using for my business anymore.
Reagan fired the air traffic workers and hired new ones. Time to get rid of Canada Post and let a private company take over.
FIRE THEM ALL AND GET NEW WORKERS. Unemployment is rising and these fools are hurting all small businesses and canadians. Enough is enough.
My father might miss my WEDDING because he can’t get his passport for the post office😢 thank you for holding everything as hostage. Your company is not making money and you are loosing business by going on strike so I don’t see how you will get a raise. 本当に間に合わなかったらまじで呪ってやるよ
Congrats CP you're turning the population against you 👏👏👏
It’s a job that requires no skill set. They already make a lot of money!
YOUR NOT THE CHEAPEST. I own 3 shops that purchase $2 million in product every year. We’re doing fine with the couriers. We barely ever use Canada post.
Actually, before the strike some of our parcels mistakingly went to Canada post and they were hung up there forever and we lost business because of them.
I hope the packages are stored somewhere at room temp. And not in the freezing cold with all the electronics going through the mail for Xmas
My work has cut back on hours because of this. Thank you…..
55,000 workers did not vote for this strike
CANADA POST IS SO F*CKING SELFISH
They chose December, that isn't a coincidence
This is really getting tired some! Just get it settled already! Everyone else is getting impacted by this!
There are 55 000 out of 73 525 employees. That means 25% is management and no cuts aimed at that 25% ??? What other company has 25% management?
That 25% is getting full pay and bonuses for managing nothing during strike.
Canada Post owns other courier companies like Purolator so top brass are making even more money during strike.
Canada Post is hemorrhaging money each year, how do they expect raises, better health care, etc. They literally need to change their whole model. In this economy they should be happy that they at least have jobs.
once the gvt. takes over a business it fails in this country to make a profit
Close it down. No longer required. Obsolete
Their timing is disgustingly shameful, and the reason why they're becoming obsolete.
Isn't tampering with a meal considered a crime too, yet they can literally stop everybody from getting mail?
Union thug.
Cold and Calculated.
Its not like if the strike ended now that Canada post would be getting any packages out by Christmas. They couldnt get things out on time before the strike. If it ended today, it will be april before theyre caught up
last time they brought covid
I don't know what pisses me off more I waited 14 days for a package to ship now i got to wait because a strike i want my money back 😂😂
Have UPS replace Canada Post
@merakis100 says he doesn't care about small businesses!!! This postal worker claims that small businesses took advantage of his cheap labour for years!!
TAX PAYERS don't feel sorry for this type of federal employee's.
How about NOT going on strike at Christmas time? You are holding Canadians for ransom. All of Canada is already struggling with jobs and the economy. Thanks
I say we would save money just by laying off all employees with severance and tell them to move on. Cancel the union. Hire ppl who are happy with the wage they are offered. They strike every 2 yrs at Christmas.! Do away with canada post. Let purilator fex ex and ups get larger
The fact they have a job is a privilege, not a right. They should fire their union negotiators and go back to work!
Send these guys back to work. We have a Legislature.
Shame on Canada post workers rather than adding to the economy they are making it worse
If they are that valid then you should have strike from jan
The postal union is a bunch of dirt bags. They went on strike at this time of year to hold this whole country for ransom just for leverage.
