Canada Post Strike

It is three banking days before the end of the month tomorrow though. Still interesting timing.

Got my OA and CCP today for some reason. Direct deposit.
I could care less if I get snail mail. Fucking snowplow keeps hitting my mailbox anyways.

Canada Post loses $10 million per day. Province of Ontario spends $30.7 billion per year on public education, Manitoba Hydro is $25 billion in debt.

There is a common theme. Poor management and prioritization of wages and benefits over productivity.

That’s CBC levels of government handouts here, & the CBC even with its low viewership, is still on the air providing whatever service it provides.

Canada Post is on strike. Here's what you need to know — CBC News

Canadians got a big surprise this week, when the union representing Canada's postal workers suddenly called for a nationwide strike after the federal government announced major reforms to Canada Post, instructing the Crown corporation to end home delivery and close some rural mail outlets...

When does the strike begin? It already has.

The union representing 55,000 postal workers says it was caught off-guard by the government's changes and argued Canada Post and the government are creating the conditions that drive down demand for its letter and parcel services?

Earlier this month, the union rejected the government's offer of a 13 per cent pay increase, saying it fell short of the union's demand for 19 per cent.

So $1,628 million / by 41.652 million people is just shy of $100/person annually for every man/woman/child/zim/Zee/Zir & the other 66 Genders regardless of whether they use the mail system or not, & then if they do utilize it, it’s a cost above and beyond that. Good times.

Canada Post said in a statement that no mail or parcels will be processed or delivered during the strike, and service guarantees for items already in the mail are suspended.

"No new items will be accepted until the national disruption (?) is over," it wrote.

(Canada Post will continue to deliver government benefit cheques — including Old Age Security, the Canada Child Benefit and the Canada Pension Plan — as well as live animals during the strike)

It says all mail and parcels already in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible once operations resume.

I want a 20% raise too. It would barely cover my antihistamine bill during harvest but it'll help.
