Canada Post workers are better off then 99% of Canadians, employees with over five years of service cannot be laid off, ever. employees who cannot be actively assigned work remain employed and continue to receive their salary and benefits, even if there is no work available for them to do, they remain on the payroll. All we wanted was 1 day, Christmas and they ruined it
WORKERS Ruined Christmas for everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
privatize
Most Canadians don’t even get those benefits and the ability to never be fired let alone to make a cleaning crew permanent post workers
WE NEED TO PROTEST IF THE GOVERNMENT ISNT GOING TO PUT A STOP TO THIS STRIKE . THEY ARE ASKING FOR WAY TOO MUCH THEY ARE JUST TOO GREEDY AND NEED TO STOP THIS NONSENSE AND RETURN BACK TO WORK
GREEDY POS WORKERS
I have no sympathy for canada post
STAY STRONG WORKERS, YOU DESERVE YOUR SHARE 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 KEEP THE PRESSURE ON AND LET THEM KNOW
We do not need everyday postal
Service.
We can have any of the many courier companies to make a mass delivery to a central location in Remote areas
Very little public support for a greedy union.

It's clear that the postal workers don't care who they hurt so long as they get what they want. Personally, I hope they get nothing.
Canada post management needs to replaced. They are trying to make employees part time.
Sunday deliveries can be done by Purolator
They are already over paid and under worked, it's all about the money and not about the service where "The mail must get through".
Canada Post doesn't give a crap about your remote location. The only Christmas gift Canada Post is giving to everyone this Christmas, is the middle finger.
Disgusting 😡
They don't care at all
Try $4000 round trip for myself and my 4 yr. Old from gander to labrador city.. thats a 3 hour flight. Traveling WITHIN the SAME province. We're beyond gauged here.
This strike – it's not forgivable. It's not fair.
Greedy ceo who do f all
If postal workers cared about anybody else besides themselves they would have gone on strike at a different time of year instead of just before Christmas.
I know it is a bargaining tactic so they can get what they want easier but they’re basically just hurting the whole country. Businesses have been hurting because of Covid. Now the postal workers have gotten everybody by their short and curly to try and extort what they want. I really don’t feel anything for the postal workers because they are just hurting everybody and they really don’t care.
Why has the government who is supposed to oversee their crown corporation……allowed this board of directors to still have a job? If a company was losing this much money since 2018 wouldn’t you change the leadership??? They have been in negotiations for a year, then they have the gull to blame the union and workers when they purposefully extended their contract through the pandemic. This is ridiculous shame on the government.
This is sad. I feel for these folks 😢
Fire all the management at Canada post. They are not qualified to run this company
The union is screwing deliveries over, not Canada Post. They should of taken the 11 % they were offered and split the work week so they could do 7 day work week. No part timers and they get their 40 hours weekly. Some work Sunday to Thursday and the other half work to cover Friday to Tuesday. They could rotate too so they don't whine about always getting a shift they don't like. Canada Post owns 91 % of Puralator. Shut it down and start over or only have Canada Post cover the out of regular service areas, maybe deliveries once or twice a week.
Think of all the broken hearts Canada Post strikers ! Think about that!
There's a reason no one likes Canada Post workers.
This is gonna be the worst Christmas ever in 2024
I was union but they have many demands .With how much it affects everything, they should be considered an essential service n cant strike like Healthcare .They are in better shape than alot of ppl out here who are having hard times , everyone feels the crunch like rent is out of control for most ppl.Covid spoiled alot of ppl n they dont want to go bk to how things were
Government don't care either
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Does anyone have a car or plane to get richer than the govt & protesters?
