From now on use UPS or RPS or whatever y'all got up there. Put the Canadian Postal Service out of business.
Fuck all those crooked greedy union scumbags. These overpaid ass dragging crybaby inefficient leaching fucks are the primary reason GM is shutting down their shit. Worker unions are the absolute worst thing that has ever happened to Canada and the United States.
Speaking of how every single right we have as workers was won by worker organizing. The CUPW (Canadian Union of Postal Workers) actually won the workers right for canadians of paid maternity leave during their 1981 strike. And you think the union as something to do with the GM layoffs?

I don't know, I think that weekends are pretty good. Oh, and mandatory vacation isn't bad either. And that whole thing where your employer can't discriminate based on gender, race, religion...
Oh yes, yes. If it wasn't for these wonderful humanitarian unions, we'd all be making 20 cents an hour on 80 hour weeks. Right? All workers in Canada get vacation pay and 40 hour work weeks and overtime pay, and anti-discrimination rights. not just union workers. DUHHHHHHH, why and how could that possibly be!? It's fucking not because non union employers are inspired by union benefits, but because GOVERNMENT LAWS MANDATE WORKERS RIGHTS. WOW, what a fucking concept, federal level laws that give all workers fair and equal rights. You know what's NOT FAIR? When small groups of workers disrupt an entire country to get better than fair pay. To raise inflation and costs for everyone else, to ruin companies and drive complete industries to other countries. Ruin a fucking country to get slightly better pay than everyone else for stupid monkey work. Wow, what a fucking cause!!!
It’s funny, my mother is one of the “overpaid scumbags” at Canada Post. Paid for about half of my schooling (and my sister’s). Thanks for throwing me a bone in life, OP. But for real, you have a legitimate point. Apparently most of the workers don’t want to strike right now. They’ll be going through contract negotiations soon, so they have to make their point now or else they won’t have any leverage... Starting wages are a lot lower now, a fair bit of it due to them hiring so many foreigners... benefits are going “bye-bye” as well. My opinion is worthless, though. I’d throw a million babies off a cliff for $100,000. That’s not even a dollar per baby.
And who do you think fought the government for those rights? Learn some fucking history before shooting off your mouth. You sound like a whiny child.
Workers rights were going to happen with or without unions. You're fucking out of touch with reality if you think otherwise. Now they're just dysfunctional relics that have broken america.
Drugs from the deep web. Not me personally but I suspect a high percent of mail in the system now is drug related. If it's not from Amazon or a bill (which most pay online) what mail do you get? Yet people are in a hurry to get it.
This strike isnt even over new issues. This is over the governemnt breaking the negotiations of their last strike years ago. And no. When the union (or wildcats) win a right, it is spread to all workers. That is how we have maternity leave, overtime pay, breaks, health and safety standards etc. Essentially anything that doesnt represent blatant slavery was won by workers. How can someone not know the history of workers rights and struggle?
