You used canadians as your bargaining strategy. If you don't like your job than look for a new one. We paid for a service that you held against us . Shame on the unions !
Yeah love my 3:15 am to 8:00 am shift with no breaks, $23.36 per hour and no benefits, no medical, no health and 4 % in lieu of benefits. Probably the worst federal employer of all time.
C'mon! There are many unionized sectors in government where employees go on strike. It's not just postal workers. And you'd more than likely be going on strike too if you worked in one of those areas of employment - like many do.
That’s the telling part. If they really were underpaid and other similar jobs were paying more they would just quit and get a job elsewhere. But these people KNOW they cannot find any other job for low skilled work with no education that pays 60k/year with full benefits and pension. They are just greedy losers.
CP is always hiring , easy online aplicación. Because people don’t last long in this job. It’s extremely physically demanding and wears you down. You’ll remain casual without benefits for years, and getting a full-time position is nearly impossible. Plus, working conditions like the cold don’t help. Good luck this strike was meant to change that for casuals employees.
the purpose of the strike is to protect worker's job security including pensions. they're striking for the future of their jobs which might not exist since the CEO's are running the company to the ground. and you're paid 20$ to start and work up to 30$ after 30 years. not great pay.
And now rumor has it that they're trying to stop the document from putting them back to work, so I say if they refuse to go back to work fire them, I'm sure there's plenty of them that would like to go back to work in order to get the check need for Christmas

They hold my parcel since Nov.16 - it's very important for me medicine form overseas. I suffer a lot/ I wish to all of them never ever get medical help under any circumstances.
The union has made Canada Post unpredictable where it needs to be predictable. This has really affected small businesses. I think most will look at alternative ways after this event (ie couriers, small local couriers, Uber…..etc.). Think banks and businesses should increase electronic transfer amounts. This way we can reduce the need for using the unpredictable Canada Post. Not to mention pulling this right before the holidays - talk about affecting small businesses. Most people will likely or are likely using Amazon to purchase all their gifts for family and friends this year - affecting all the small online businesses that need this critical spending month to survive. Im hoping that at least the spending at the local malls has increased because of this strike. That would be the inly favourable outcome from this “hokey pokey selfish” strike.
Wow horrible inconsiderate. Holding people’s property hostage. Every client paid for a delivery!! CP failed to do what they were paid for. Their union is playing chicken with their jobs. There is very important stuff in that mail people are waiting for. For us who are way up north we don’t have malls up here this is like shopping and not getting to take your purchases home. Northern Ontario relies on the deliveries. CP ruined Black Friday and Christmas These are not skilled trade jobs that take many many years of training. I hope the federal government dissolves this greedy union and gets people in their working who appreciate being employed. I heard they are paying $1,000 each Does the Federal government not realize that’s taxpayers money?? Taxpayers that Canada Post just snubbed and withheld our property? They can give $1,000. a person in Canada Post when they act badly and break contracts and trust but the Government won’t help its taxpayers struggling to pay heat, hydro etc. Every month 6,000 more people go homeless. CP workers should be very glad they have jobs. I hope CP loses many many millions of clients. We need a Canada Post competitor. Canada Post is so automated it’s nit hard work.
So they are going to go back to work because the government said so? People make strange decisions. i do not understand why people think they have to do what the government says.❤
They talk about who writes but they don't have any concern about the rights of other Canadian citizens and Christmas time that decided to take this vote to strike

Bro I want nothing but the best for humanity but this entire situation has been astronomically obstreperous. Postal workers have a pretty slack job. It's essentially choreographed work. Same routes day after day, driving 75 percent of the time if they're field workers. Get out and walk to the door sometimes. Let's be completely transparent, it requires no real precession, neurological stimulus/ demand nor life threatening circumstances (at least regularly). The entire circumstance seems to have been conjured up by delusional newcomers to the company. Speaking explicitly and freely, if i may (I'm going to anyhow); 90 percent of the employees I've seen in footage look like jabronies and onion head's. Brah if you wanna make more money go play somewhere else. Go grind your a$$ off and do grueling labor if you lack post secondary education. Or shape up and hit the books and become a top notch desk jockey. It's a dog eat dog world man, and for these workers to hold Canadians primary exchange vendor hostage for so long because of their self-righteous delusional entitlement is first class tumultuous rambunctious swashbuckling behavior. I can't wait to receive my new muscle shirt in the mail I've been waiting 7 weeks for it 🥲
