Public service Unions, all about greed and institutionalized laziness.
Just fire them. Hire and train new workers. That would be fater than waiting for ending the childish strike
To all the Parasites that are living off our taxes & WHOSE PRODUCTIVITY LEVEL IS WAYYYYY BELOW PAR LEVEL; GO BACK TO WORK NOW (((((((((((((((((((((((
Why she have a picture of ground beef behind her?
I hope this is resolved soon.
Shows how important canada post workers actually are, no? Lol
Timing to go on strike before the busy Christmas season was strategic
Workers get screwed for the third time this year. The Liberals will be destroyed in next year’s election.
Seems like Canada Post does this every couple of years; holds Canadian Christmas hostage as they ask for more. They already get their birthdays off on top of every other stat. They don’t deliver on Friday anymore. I don’t think there is a better job for someone who has no post-secondary education. They are the only “corporation” that seems to be able to make a business model of offering less service and worse service while raising prices. Time to privatize the delivery sector entirely. No wonder Amazon has its own shipping company! Competition can only lead to better service and prices.
Let me know when you guys are going down so I can meet you at the door
Honestly , for how expensive and ineffective they are – How about we just discontinue the Canada Postal Service?
Why are we paying billions in taxes to keep a 100 year old service active when they don't do their jobs? Strike every chance? Are WAY over paid?
We all know how much they make to WALK MAIL AROUND and it's disgusting? Bunch of drop outs in cargo shorts who make as much as Servicemen?
Why the F** can a mail courier make as much as an infantryman? Are they going through the Mojave? Do they get sent to quarry junction?
Fire them all , discontinue the service and give the letter mail contract to Amazon who will do it faster and cheaper?
It's like when the government gave that multibillion dollar bailout to GMC only to find out that half of their workforce who were making over 60-80K were actually just tenth grade dropouts with 20 years of seniority?
Why are taxpayers paying ANYONE to walk mail around when Amazon already wanted and tested a small drone mail service system that got blocked on air regulations?
Give the money to Amazon and fire every single one of the lazy commies on strike
Postal workers are already privileged workers in an age of high unemployment and stagnant wages. No, I cannot sympathize with them.
Canada Post workers have been striking their way out of a job. When a Union is asking for what is reasonable and can meet management somewhere in the middle then you empower the Unions. The Union has to realize that the market has changed and so the Union can't always get what they want
Remeber Singh said "If they get involved in any way, the NDP will vote Non-Confidence..". What are the chances.
This is just kicking the can. Come May it'll be the exact same thing except there will be more anger involved. He is throwing gas on a fire.
The government made it clear as a bell that unions in Canada mean nothing to them. The port workers, made to go back. The rail workers, made to go back and now this. Wonder where the NDP is that stood with the picketers saying he had their backs? Coward.
CUPW never agreed to binding arbitration. Ever. And it’s a binding contract since 2016, almost a decade ago.
December 15,2024 Time out Fire steve Mackinnon IMMEDIATELY so your job pm trudeau address 55,000 union posty workers Stat stat stat stat stat stat stat

Waste of time, nothing new
Get rid of Unions!!
Fire them all!
Change everything to part time work.
Half benefits.
No pensions.
SPOILED BRATS!!!!
Fire the managers, as well.
IMO
Allegedly.
Break the union!
How much will disappear from depots? 😡😡😡😡
IMO
Allegedly,
small business with show their teeth when they don't return to CP, and continue to use alternative, CP will collapse, Postal workers are about to be schooled bigtime
All the workers' fault. They have jobs that can easily be replaced and are paid too much. And now they want more. Shame on the union. Go away.
All worker lets vote out liberal n conservative
Singh is pretty quiet about this, maybe doesn't really care about the Postal union, unlike other unions. Hope they remember that.
Get a proper job lady. One where you have to actually work and not just collect a bloated fee for stating the obvious.
everyone mad at canadapost employees for striking before christmas completely misses the fact that the whole point of striking is to remind everyone of the service they provide
Postal workers have been working despite their contract being expired since LAST CHRISTMAS…
Blame Canadapost corporate, not the workers or the union
or simply use another carrier
anyone pretending their livelihoods have been significantly affected clearly lack the ability to adapt to rather insignificant changes in their market and were doomed to fail anyway
It's too late. Here's a real-world case. I have a business and I receive cheques from my customers. Because of the strike we decided to do e-transfers. I asked my customer this morning with the postal workers going back to work Tuesday will they resume mailing cheques or continuing with e-transfers. They said they will continue with e-transfers. Multiply that out by however many businesses there are in Canada and there are some huge losses. We know JT will do nothing. I wonder if Poilievre will consider privatizing Canada post just as Trump is. I think it makes sense. Why should we as taxpayers pay for the bleeding? Lop off my arm please! It has gangrene.
The timing of the "F Canadians" action by Canada Post was also very strategic. If we look back over my 60+ years on this planet, every Canada Post strike just happened to occur during the Christmas season. Overpaid, underworked whiners –
Little long.. cuz everyone knows soon the postal service will be learned about in history lesson
easy for govt. to force them back to work now, just as the gov't all take leave of their jobs for the next 5 weeks!! 🙄I feel bad for postal workers and also the dock workers who were forced back to work. seems like you have the right to strike but only if no one else is impacted.
Imagine ,you own a business and its lost close to a billion in a little over 3 years and you still pay your C.E.O. 500 k per year…need I say more 🖕💣💥
