I have zero sympathy for Canada Post anymore ..to cause this much cost to businesses and to halt shipment of meds to places no one else delivers is disgusting. They’ve also ruined Xmas for many who have things held up in the mail. It will amaze me if things don’t go missing. It’s time for them to be ordered back to work
Get back to work! I want the packages I paid for & belong to me period.
I stand with workers ✊️ their services are needed and deserve a fair wage.
It will end when the union runs out of money
Pay them I would rather have working Canadians receive Canadians tax money than Palestine and liberal fanatical programs
The union at this point has lost their bargaining chips. All should realize the current delivery model of Canada Post is not sustainable due to competitions from the like of gigs economy shipper from Amazon. Should union settles for less. No. However, they should understand that Canada Post as a whole has been in the negative since 2018. You cannot shake off someone when they do not have money.
I forgot about the usual mail strike and made a few hundred dollars worth of orders. I should have remembered that they stopped working when Christmas time is around. Next year I'll remember to order before and after Christmas Time.
……THEY FROZE THE WAGES FOR 10 YEARS AND STOLE HALF THE BENEFITS. THE WORKERS ARE TRYING TO CATCH UP. DRIVERS AT UPS AND FEDEX MAKE MORE MONEY THAN THE DRIVERS AT CANADA POST……
The union is digging their own grave
Everything is electronic and private messengers are thriving. This was done on purpose to raise postage prices astronomically…. Stay tuned
I wasnt able to send my grandchildren their gifts because of this. Let alone get some important mail out. Have to walk in town to deliver my own mail!
Government should get involved at this point
Average postal worker makes 200 dollars min per day and many make much more, they are wanting a 24 percent increase in 4 years plus added other benifiets and, so you are looking at an increase in salary of 48+ dollars per day per worker.
They will never recover from this. Many companies have vowed to never use CP again as they have 10’s of thousands per company of customer purchases stuck in the system.
Its too expensive to ship a small parcel already. Something needs to be done.
Strike before Christmas great idea to remind everyone how little you matter think we can save money and shut down Canada post
The useless government should do at least one right thing, which is to enforce them to go back do their fking job
Privatize the parcel delivery, make CP paper-only
Another Christmas ruined by the Liberals
F Canada post! We don’t need em!!!! Offer the union 3/4 of what they were getting if they don’t like it fire them!
Send them back to work
I feel like the only winnner here is amazon because at least i am buying all my gifts there because i know they will get here on time for Christmas
BOYCOTT CANADA POST!
Get rid of Canada post! I will ship any other way possible for life.
Hey Libbies, look at all the strikes that have happened in the last few years.. how many were your government’s jobs? All of them. Liquor mart, teachers, EA’s, postal (a couple times), and others. If you want change stop striking and vote better.
Both sides of this are equally awful for doing this to Canadians. I don't think it's going to work out for either of them
Can you imagine from the lowest to the retired veteran can't pay rent or get food and are panicking. People's businesses have lost over a billion dollars in Canada. By the time they get a raise Canada Post is going to close a bunch of places or cut delivery days.
Im A Bricklayer and my Trade is truly a testament to the term " PHYSICALLY DEMANDING " . These Paper Slinging Degenerates are allready overpaid as it is . "Physically demanding " What a Joke . Just Deliver our parcels and then put the Fries in the Bag when yall lose your jobs Over a Failed Tantrum for 24 % increase 🤣
From the U.S., I feel sympathy for those affected by prolonged mail disruptions in Canada. It’s surprising that such a vital service, especially in a country with many rural areas, isn't considered essential. Here, USPS workers are prohibited from striking to ensure mail delivery continues uninterrupted.
These lazy postal workers need to get back to work.
Ya they don't CARE THEY sold out CANADA post to Amazon ect for their rich friends PROFIT AND THEY will BANKRUPT CANADA post like every GOVERNMENT service AND ASSETS PIERRE POILIEVRE AXE THE TAX WILL CUT AND BANKRUPT CANADIAN TAXPAYERS SERVICES LIKE SERVICE ONTARIO LCBO BEER STORES HEALTHCARE LONGTERM CARE EDUCATION ALL PUBLIC ASSETS THAT PROVIDED PUBLIC SERVICES ASSETS GONE TO THEIR RICH FRIENDS PROFIT STEALING TAXPAYERS ASSETS SERVICES DOLLARS SHAMEFUL
why punish the public by holding all our mail hostage.. Just cause your unionized goverment job wont pay you 24% more and then you even go as far as asking the same public your making suffer for support 😂 go back to work and deliver my mail punish the large buisnesses and corpos not the general public
Looks like the work of demonic forces working the postal system in Canada. Really now, Canada Post picked Christmas time to have a strike?! So why doesn’t the Federal government step in to at least delay the postal strike past the Christmas season?
As per Yoda, “Do not underestimate the power of the Emperor, or suffer your father’s fate you will.” 😂😂😂😂
Only govermenmt workers can get away with striking these days, EVERY working class job deserves a BIG RAISE, not sure about these government workers though………….how do you get a job at canada post anyway?
Can set your clock to their strikes now.
Time to abolish Canada Post.
The union members are destroying Canada Post and devastating businesses and individuals who rely on the postal system, Canada's parliament needs to step in and make these greedy workers get back to work !!!!!!
STOP HURTING CANADIAN SMALL BUSINESSES. Canada does not support you, we're over it.
Get them back to work for a month for Christmas, then lay-off 60% of these idiots.
I bet you over half the postal union workers didn’t even want a strike to begin with . Everyone wants to be a hero when no one is asking for one . They were offered a 14 percent . Children
Let them strike and go under.Out of business They dont care ,meanwhile everybody is put Christmas gifts.All about themselves GREEDY
😮
Government? Lol useless .
This is no news
I heard that CP is trying to bring in casual workers which threatens the jobs for postal workers. Trudeau has brought in tons of foreigners that will work for cheap. I support the strike!
