Hammer Ready To Fall On Canadian Government Post Office
The once all mighty Canadian Union Of Postal Workers have thrown in the towel and have decided to take the government’s last offer before the arbitrator forcefully made them take it. The postal union did this so they could say it was a negotiated settlement.
At this moment the union is setting up locations all across Canada for the union members to vote on it.
Ever since the government in North America declared war on trade and public sector unions these employee organizations have been losing ground and the union membership has been shrinking constantly or this is what the media wants you to believe, in truth the real reason is because of companies moving to cheaper pastures in other countries leaving the employees without work.
The major contentions are wages and pensions and in larger companies it equates to a big chunk of change just because thanks to a good government healthcare people live longer so they collect pensions longer.
The world has gone through major changes economically where the world governments have come together to solve problems like cancelling depressions in favour of bailouts in the trillion of dollars.
The ever growing families living in poverty due to lack of jobs because of governments misguided exercises in futility like free trade as an example they get jealous and complained.
Work contracts are changing and unions have to change their work mindsets if they want to survive these trying times.
Due to the cost and awards of courts in employment disputes major changes are coming.
New employees will start at a lower rate and take longer to get to full rate.
Pay raises will be replaced by bonuses.
Employees will have to take care of their own pensions.
Welcome to the new world.

Urban Postal Unit Negotiations (2011) / Bulletin
Negotiations Bulletin no. 110
This afternoon, after many weeks of discussion and some very tough decisions, the Union and Canada Post have reached a tentative agreement for the Urban Operations collective agreement.
To ensure that the members receive accurate information, details will be forthcoming early next week.
As we have stated in the past, a negotiated settlement is better than a collective agreement imposed by a Tory-appointed arbitrator. Watch for bulletins and check with your Local as to when your ratification vote will be held.
In solidarity,
Denis Lemelin
National President and Chief Negotiator
