Canada Post Strike
- Thread starter B00Mer
- Start date
So it's what, 2 weeks so far?
That's a pay schedule I think.
Now the rubber is starting to hit the road.
As much as I don't want to see anyone out of work something has to change at Canada Post or we just can't afford it any more.
Not sure the circumstances were right for a strike.

We got a ton of snow last night. I didn't bother digging out the mail box......
Laid-off Canada Post worker stays on picket line in Regina
'We might not have enough volume to work,' Canada Post told laid-off employee.

The worker, who wished to remain anonymous, said he received a call from HR last week saying that he would be laid off once the strike is over.
“This doesn’t make any sense, because the reasoning they said was ‘we might not have enough volume to work,’ so that’s why they will be laying off people,” the Canada Post worker said. “It’s the busiest season of the year. That’s when you need people the most to deliver all the mail that goes through our plant.”
“We’ve informed employees that their expired collective agreements are no longer in effect and their terms and conditions of employment have now changed, as allowed under the Canada Labour Code,” Canada Post said in a statement.
Brahm Enslin, President of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) Saskatoon local 824 discussed what workers are looking for, and the divide between the corporation and its employees at the link below, etc…
A sticking point for both parties is the structure of Canada Post’s workforce. Canada Post wants to immediately pivot its business to deliver parcels on both weekdays and weekends in order to compete with other couriers. To do that, the Crown corporation wants to hire more part-time workers because it would be less expensive than relying on existing full-time Canada Post employees. The union is opposed to this, saying Canada Post wants to hire new workers at lower wages and offer them fewer benefits than current employees.
The corporation has proposed a 11.5-per-cent wage increase over four years, with a 5-per-cent increase in the first year of a new collective agreement. CUPW is asking for a compounded wage increase of 24 per cent spread over four years.

Other courier services, such as DHL, UPS and Purolator, are available to send and receive parcels, though rates vary and could be more costly than Canada Post. For example, a three-pound package shipped from Toronto to Vancouver by UPS would cost anywhere between $41 and $83 depending on standard or express service. The same package sent to and from the same locations by Purolator would range anywhere from $91 to $116 for standard delivery. Canada Post would charge between $33 and $116, depending on type of shipping.
However, these options might not be available to all Canadians, especially those in rural areas.

Negotiations are ongoing, so here’s what is still getting through, and how to send letters and gifts to Santa and other loved ones
Canada Post said it will continue to deliver assistance cheques, such as Old Age Security and Employment Insurance, but governments are encouraging people to sign up for direct deposit while the strike is ongoing. More information is available here for federal programs affected by the strike.
I don't think they're getting a lot of public sympathy. It was a dick move to strike now. They have screwed a lot of small businesses with this purposely timed strike. Lots of folks are pissed. I use the postal service for my writing. For a year, I ran a monthly book draw and merchandise.
Canada Post probably got a couple of grand out of me just last year.
I will look at other alternatives as my new book approaches the finish line.

I'm off for a couple of weeks in Christmastown (Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany). Y'all keep it between the guardrails, hear?
Same reason teachers always go on strike at the end of August.
To them it's the perfect time to strike. They think they have us over a barrel, but in reality no one really cares. Snail mail is dead or close to it.
Isn't this when the managers step in to deliver the mail.
Also can't really see how a strike works when one side doesn't give a shit and continues to be paid.
Should just sell the business but not the land to Purolator who I am told they own a good % of already
