The purpose of a strike is for workers to assert their power and necessity to their employers. When a private sector union goes on strike, the owners of the business suffer along with the workers due to loss of work. When a public sector union strikes, the government and the public suffer from the lack of services the striking workers would normally provide. So if you say Canada Post is useless, then their strike should only negatively effect Canada Post workers. And if the free market is God, everything will sort itself out. So let the strike go on for months and see if anyone needs Canada Post. You might be surprised. The Conservative government legislated Canada Post back to work in 2011 for a reason.
Canada Post locked the workers out then legislated them back to work in 2011.
The government of Canada has to stop this madness of strikes every couple of years.
1) Convert Canada Post back to a government agency like it was before 1982
This would eliminate the $10 million plus a year for the pesident and board members saleries.
2) Make Canada Post an essential service which would eliminate labour strikes permanently.
3) Canada Post should introduce more revenue streams so that the taxpayer never has to fund it.
Canada Post still is a moneymaker and gives the best value for the people that use it.
Don't get fooled by businesses threats of leaving Canada Post permanently the compition is just a Plan B for them but they all come back because the economical postal rates improves the bottom line.
As for emails because of spam blocker programs even the good emails disappear and as for paying online bank service charges make snail mail more cheaper.
Paying bills through the post office gives you the excuse to say "It's in the mail"
