Labour analyst Adam Donald King says it was expected that Ottawa would eventually step in on the strike if no deal could be met.

this is disgusting. these are public workers, they have way better conditions than any regular workers in all of canada. The hypocrisy and corrupted minds behind this are despicable. The more we give to these workers the more it cost in our taxes. Their pay comes from our pay! the more they ask, the more we lose!
Yes , it’s about time. The postal workers are already spoiled rotten.
You don't wanna work? Quit, there's lots of ppl including myself that would like to work. And do the wanna ruin it for the rest of the world.
Canada Post is broke! They will never come back and deliver our mail. What is 3 billions dollars mean!!!
Canada Post is just as useless & irrelevant as print newspapers (Postmedia) & the horse buggy.
Bring Donald Trump and he will solve it! Just like the ice rink in New York. It was completed in three months.
We all know Mr. Singh will give Trudeau a severe finger waving over this.
Trump
Почта Канады, если не ошибаюсь, компания с активами государства, и потому прямая обязанность правительства участвовать в разрешении конфликта ее работников с работодателями. Кстати, в какую игру играет в данном контексте Палата общин, наши, с позволения сказать, депутаты?
Yes.
I would like to know why businesses recommend not sending cash through the mail? Is it because there are thieves working for Canada Post? These so-called honorable workers take out tax money and steal the money we attempt to send to loved ones. The whole thing is sick.
Let them stay on strike, small businesses will find other ways to get their packages. When they do they certainly won’t go back to Canada Post.
Yup force them back 55k postal workers ruining Christmas for all of Canada yup send them back with less too
Disolve or merge CP and Purolator and give control to the laters board.
is there a canada post strike going on right now? I haven't noticed any disruption in the mail service, it's no worse now than it was 5 weeks ago
Absolutely 💯 even though it's probably too late to save Christmas packages from being held hostage
I’m happy that the Labour board intervened! Enough is enough! These couriers have ruined Christmas for a lot of Canadians!
No, it's too late Steve clown the labor Minister is the biggest bully in Canadians history
How much money are they asking?
No and I should only get my mail once a week problem solved
Yes! it's suitable and the right time to intervene.
Yes
Postal services is a part of the constitution To provide postal service
I am ready to take your job with a 20% haircut
For goodness sake

Do your job Fire steve Mackinnon

Can we please just close this antiquated postal dis-service? All that they do is fill mailboxes with junk mail and lose parcels. Canada Post is SO irrelevant and unnecessary in a capitalist economy! It just needs to GO!!!
If government steps in, please close it down, you'll get the vote of the rest of Canada
❌So the LIBERAL GOVERNMENT never fails to disappoint in their interfering by UNDERMINING of the COLLECTIVE BARGAINING PROCESS. These are Manufactured Crisis by the DOCK EMPLOYER and CPC ! ❌ WHY WHY WHY would the Employers negotiate with UNIONS when they know the Government will rescue them every time. These employees are the same employees that worked through the PANDEMIC for CANADIANS, they delivered ! ❌The CEO's, VP's and Managers have all taken substantial BONUSES but claim POVERTY when it comes to NEGOTIATIONS with workers, the backbone of the PUBLIC SERVICE. Seriously ! This is their REWARD, FORCED BINDING ARBITRATION by the TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT. The way workers are treated is simply a DISGRACE. CANADA POST is a PUBLIC SERVICE not a COURIER company like a FEDEX or an AMAZON!
A billion dollar a year loss. Who's paying for that? That would be some real journalism.
Someone explain to me why we need Canada Post?
I would literally rather trust Tom Hanks in Cast Away to deliver a package before Canada Post….
Fire them all and sell Canada Post to Amazon.
The food service industry needs hyper qualified workers like these guys, sure the pay is less than a third of what they make now and there is no health or dental plans for them or their families, but they will have the honor of truly serving Canadian needs.
abolish canada post. useless
I miss my mail Trudeau shouldn’t get any info if we can’t
90% of Canada Post jobs are UNSKILLED GRADE 10 entry level and should be treated as such. $15 to 20.00/hours without benefits. Canadian taxpayers need to refuse to accept government inefficiency. Canada Post must be privatized NOW. The union needs to be kicked to the curb.
Trust a Fed politician?
Youll be sorry
Should have done this two weeks ago. The union is so out to lunch and CP is so broke that no deal could have been reached. Small business and the average Canadian are the losers here.
Où est <<le Maserati M@rxist>>?
Uh YES they should have ordered them back to work 2 weeks ago. Canadian seniors are SICK of this bulls… Im sure families also waiting for things in mail are also sick of it. I wont use canada post once i can get my pension provider to find a different way to send my cheques.
3 weeks ago I might have said no to government intervention but this strike lasted way too long and the damage is virtually irreparable.
No.
It's enough, the union is so greedy and spoiled ! they have asked too much.
This is a disgrace to me that our mail can be held up, I saw on the News that a family put their father's ashes in the mail and promises made to be sent to Ontario and bingo, strike, so this man's ashes are stuck in with millions of boxes, I know how I would feel if that was my loved one. It was a case of have to do it that way. My bills are all tied up. I like making certain donations to charities this time of year to buy food and presents for those who need it. I can't do that without the mail so it's nothing short of a disgrace to me that they were not ordered back to work even Dec. lst.
Canada Post love cheap labor 🤣😂
Attention Union. You cannot strike with unreasonable demands and close the nation's postal system. The govt did the correct thing by stepping in not only to halt your holding hostage of our postal system, but also to save your 55000 workers from losing their homes AT YOUR EXPENSE! Face it, your demands are VERY UNREASONABLE and CP is not and will not bow to your unreasonable demands!
Just another example of how our once great country is failing
