If Canada Post shut its doors, a real business would fill the void left. There is so much fat that could be trimmed and so many inefficiencies that there would definitely be room for profit. At Canada Post, a customer drop off a package at a post office and Canada Post delivers it to a different location. For this, they typically charge anywhere from $20-$50, depending on size and weight. By contrast, a customer actually buys an item inside a package and Amazon delivers for a small fee, or for free. To send someone in a different province a box of 100 dishwasher detergent pods would cost approx $25-$30 for the delivery. With Amazon, you could buy that same box of detergent pods and the price would be less than the delivery alone with Canada Post.
Essential worker legislation in Canada includes the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act (FPSLRA) and related case law. The FPSLRA outlines the responsibilities and obligations for essential services and positions. Here are some key aspects of essential worker legislation in Canada
I'm searching and searching for news about the strike from ANY media source that looks at issues from a labour perspective. Can't find any. All I find are attacks on the working class, sympathy for business owners, and the paradoxical sentiment that Canada Post is irrelevant and yet the strike is really hurting Canadians. Can't be both. Personally, I like having a national postal service that's also a good employer.
@@funkspinna I'm talking about media bias. The average person in Canada is conditioned to think of everything in terms of the effect on business. That's why we get the weird situation of ordinary working people generally siding with the corporate position whenever there's a strike, no matter what the particular issues are. I'd just like to see some balanced reporting for a change, given that most Canadians who have to work for a living are finding it harder to make ends meet these days, whereas there are more billionaires around than ever before.
@@TT-fq7pl The average person in Canada is not conditioned to think of everything in terms of the effect on business. For example, inflation, which is always in the news, is reported based on the effect on consumers, based on the CONSUMER Priced Index (CPI).
@@funkspinna Have you ever watched the news or read a newspaper online or in print? Stock market reports, whole business sections, second homes sections, etc. I've never seen or heard a labour report in the news that addresses workers' lives. Even describing citizens as "consumers" exposes the business conditioning.
Would you agree that everyone in Canada (regardless of job they work at) should receive the same financial and benefits package as the people who work at Canada Post?
This strike has been announced for a year. Small business will prepare for disruptions like everyone else. Those that do not will struggle for sure. This is not on Canada Post, business management is a standard for all organizations. Canada Post has been without a contract for over a year, leaving them no choice but to strike. Your guest speaker who represents a business sector association is blaming CP for not putting up with not having a contract? Really? Would he be ok with not being paid fully for his services for a year? Remind me not to support his association they seem to promote unethical standards and lack community solidarity.
should have striked in the middle of the year and not near the end. Government employees have so much benefits and wages compared to the private sector.
This postal strike made the choice for me to make all my bills,former paperwork on email.For decades postal delivery was a part time job,that morphed into the unconnected mess it is now..
So start using email more you can send coupons by email you can transfer money on line you can pay bills on line the only thing I get in the mail are flyers and I get the same ones by email
Just deliver my parcel!
They always strike near Christmas such bull crap
Yeah thats some real horse shit to do this at xmas
How can I give up? The alternatives are 5x the price. My customers won't pay more for shipping than their item cost to start with.

The effect on the working class is obvious. The average person doesn't really think about the effect on businesses. CAN affect both.
Aren't they hemorrhaging like 3.5 billion a year? If a business isn't profitable, it's just socialism. Or you know, Canadian economics lol

Northern Canada still count on canda post
The hate for the employees of canada post make me sick. These people deserve respect. Be better and stop spreading foolish lies about the business.
Would you agree that everyone in Canada (regardless of job they work at) should receive the same financial and benefits package as the people who work at Canada Post?
Why do they DESERVE respect??
