Does Deepak Chopra The Motivator Agree With Canadian Postal President Chopra?

The Canadian postal service has endured a lot of changes since the Former Prime Minister Mulroney’s era of a changing a business model from a money losing to a money making endeavour.

With the modern Canadian Conservative government today they were able to put the final nail in the postal union’s coffin by hammering out a weak labour contract like where bankable sick time is gone with the new rules of 70% wages if a person is sick to a maximum of three days and the wages of a person starting out is reduced by 25% and eight year increments of raises to get to full wages.

At the same time the way the mail is to be delivered in changing where each delivery person is given a small van to deliver the mail which means more money from postal services to be spent on fleet vehicles, insurance and fuel for those vehicles so where is the savings?

The Canadian Conservative government has come out with a new contract with the consumer called Canadian Postal Service Charterhttp://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/infosheets-canadapost-1770.htm

The Canadian Postal Services will listen to the consumer but that is after a decision is made and they seldom change their minds.


Community Outreach and Consultation
  1. Where Canada Post plans to change delivery methods Canada Post will communicate, either in person or in writing, with affected customers and communities at least one month in advance to explain decisions and explore options that address customer concerns.
  2. At least one month before deciding to permanently close, move or amalgamate corporate post offices, Canada Post will meet with affected customers and communities to jointly explore options and find practical solutions that address customer concerns.
  3. Each year, Canada Post will hold an Annual Public Meeting open to the public to provide an opportunity for the public to express views, ask questions and provide feedback to Canada Post.
The future of the Canadian Postal service is simple “Canada Post For Sale”

They just want to cut back the postal services enough for a private company to easily take it over.

The community mail boxes that residence have to go to in newer subdivisions will eventually move to the more established urban areas and door to door delivery in Canada will be history.

Deepak Chopra the motivator is more consumer friendly as seen on his web site http://www.deepakchopra.com/ and I believe he would have taken a different path for an effective and consumer friendly Canadian Postal Service.

It is a proven fact that security on the Internet is hard to attain and massive amounts of personal information is viewed by less than desirable individuals and the amount of Spam is increasing along with scam phishing web sites Spam programs are capturing important emails that the consumer will never see so the postal services is still a viable solution to meet the needs of consumers.


What do you think?

Canada Post is the home of the laziest most worthless government employees on the planet. COntracting out their work will save us all money and make CP survive in an age where snail mail is rapidly disappearing.

Delivered by contractors? So who are the lazy people? The automated machines that replace 80% of CanadaPost workers? Explain who these lazy people are and how they are lazy.

The fat lazy cows that work in the local post office for a start. Send a notice that you have a parcel and when you go to get it they say it hasn't been sorted yet, you have to come back tomorrow. My worthless ex bro in law for another who found driving the van around dropping off bags of mail too stressful.

That would be lazy contractors who do the sorting if a parcel card came in your comp box.

Nope. The parcels are in the Post Office. Run by lazy government employees. The contractors only deliver what they are given.

Not here. They load up what they are given and make their deliveries.

It's not 1975 anymore.

First they sort their zone, then they load up, then sort parcels not delivered at day's end. It's not done for them.

That is the day in the life of a postal contractor or postie.

- Poor silly business neophyte Liberalman writes the following paragraph about how those dastardly Conservatives are putting the final nail in the coffin of the postal union by dismantling some of the extravagant, unnecessary and unsustainable sweetheart contract provisions that his Avatar Idol - another
poor silly neophyte in business named Peter Waterhole - allwed the postal unions to put on the backs of the beleagured taxpayers in those halcyon 1970s when Waterhole gave up most government power and resources to the monopoly public sector unions and thereby increased the national debt by over 1100% and ushered in over two decades of fiscal pain:

"With the modern Canadian Conservative government today they were able to put the final nail in the postal union’s coffin by hammering out a weak labour contract like where bankable sick time is gone with the new rules of 70% wages if a person is sick to a maximum of three days and the wages of a person starting out is reduced by 25% and eight year increments of raises to get to full wages."

- My question to posters here is a very simple one. In competitive private industry, how many companies do you know that were financially reckless enough to provide the following costly perks for their unskiled and semi-skilled laboufr forces and yet are still somehow in business?

1/ Bankable sick days that enable the worker to receive an additional cash payment of up to six months of his top salary when he retires either voluntarily or by being severed?

2/ Starting wages at the same level as fully trained, appraised and experienced employees with no incentive whatsoever for learning and growing and improving on the job?

- Please enlighten me on this.

Do sorting machines and contractors have a Union? CanadaPost is just a skeleton of what it was 20 years ago.

TeddyBallgame I really enjoy reading your long winded comments did you ever consider doing stand up?

You must be a Conservative and to give you a compliment like a Progressive Conservative of yesteryear as opposed to a modern fascist Conservative that Canadians have to endure in the federal arena today.

There is a lot of rules and regulations a postal worker has to learn as well a lot of skills to do the job properly as in any profession not everyone can to the job.

They don't deliver parcels. They just put a card in your box and you go to the post office and pick it up.

It is so much "the centre of the universe", that many think it is our capital. Someone should tell Torontonians (and the ignorant and uninformed) that it ain't so.

I shouldn’t even bother explaining this to such an idi0t asyou taxslave, You have no idea what the ‘h’ you’re talking about. IT IS NOT THE CLERKS who work in the postal outlets who send the delivery notices to you, or anyone else. It is the drivers that leave notices if there’s no one home. And if you’d read the dam* notices, they probably say Pick up item ‘TOMORROW’ (THE NEXT DAY) after 1 p.m. If you get a notice at, for example, 10 a.m. one morning and race to the outlet right then, the item is NOT going to be there yet, no matter how much you yell at the clerk behind the counter. We can't pluck parcels out of the sky either, no matter how much you yell. The delivery drivers have to finish their routes first. Items are then taken to a depot where they are sorted and sent out to the postal outlets for processing and pick-up. At the outlet where I work we have 2 drop-offs a day. The first one around 4 -4:30p.m. and the second around 7-7:30 p.m. We have a lot of work to do, and we work as fast as we can. We have to enter every item into the computer, massive, heavy, big, small, tiny, parcel, envelope; sort all and shelve or file everything. Alot of parcels are heavier than I am and bigger than some of my co-workers and drivers.But I don’t expect you, taxslave, to get it,stupid people just don’t…..

My mail comes to my door for under 60 cents a pop. Half the price of a chocolate bar. UPS or Fed Ex can't do that and if you local contractor that is piss poor at sorting parcels had it his/her way, you'd be paying far more.
