That's okay, I understand what you mean. You don't actually know of any companies that would be willing to deliver lettermail to Inuvik for 57 cents.
But you probably meant something different, anyway.
What's up with all the strikes lately?

Who says that it will be union work? On that note, in the event that it is a union that does the work, who says that the starting wage will be $25/hr along with a defined, indexed pension or the other big benefits they currently have.
As far as the workers not 'working' for the union, so what? They still seek to act as one voice and they will have to take the good with the bad... Look at Safeway for example. When that union starting making waves, the corp entity handed them their collective asses. Wages dropped through the floor (to just above min wage), rich benefit packages were no longer on the table and yet the union has had a limited affect on changing this.
That said, if a unionized employee wants to kick $40-$50 each month to a body that gets them the status quo, that's their business, but don't expect management to roll over every time that there is a beef.
Safeway delivers mail? Does Safeway employee people full-time or do they give them 34hrs a week to keep tham as part time as to not have to pay out union AND non-union benefits?
I asked for specific on exactly how CanadaPost makes money through privatized section of their network. What EXACTLY are they and what was privatized that did it.
DETAILS Give the ****ING DETAILS.

You asked how they would make money and I gave you the ****ing details.
By the way, there is a reason that Shoppers Drug Mart and 7-11 operate postal outlets.. Think that you might be able to figure out as to why?
Is the union principle different between the sectors?
Think before you post!
No no no Bubba. YOU specifically stated that they privatized certain sections of their network.
What are you some drunkard busker in front of a liquor store giving some song and dance or are you going to prove to me exactly which parts were privatized and how they saved them money to become a profitable business.

Ahhhh... More non-answers from the King himself.
Is that you dying the slow death?
C'mon buddy... Any response to the remarkable coincidence in CanPost becoming profitable and the outsourcing of select services?
Surely you can find a union newsletter that gives the appropriate excuses.
Convenience.
Why **** else would you set up shops in CONVENIENCE stores? The outlets are leased and are CanadaPost not Shoppers or 7-11 run.
Unless you'd like to start paying OT for CanadaPost to stay open late for you CONVENIENCE.
It's to get foot traffic in the door, the same reason that drug stores now rent office suites to doctors at incredibly row monthly rents.
They don't do it to make money off the postal outlet, that's for sure.
Would that be kinda like why auto parts and sporting good are in the furthest corner of a Dept store? To get males to walk through the entire store in hope they make a urge purchase along the 3 block walk to get a windsheild wiper?

As expected, I gave you 2 examples of companies that operate postal outlets and requested you give consideration as to why but as per your MO, you decide to put on your blinders and see only what you want. I'm not going to explain economics to you and waste my time. Either you agree that CanPosts operational profits coincide with the outsourcing activities or you don't agree.
It's no surprise that my observations on this are met with nothing but deflections and non-answers on this. Mentalfloss represents an excellent study in terms of non-answer protocol.
.... But, but; how can that be?
Does the dept store need 2 separate unions in there because one section is recreational and the other automotive?
It's probably because he's been beaten up too often in the AGW threads. Feigning amnesia is a terrible disorder. Maybe they should throw that one in the DSM-V.
In the Netherlands, as in Britain, the postal market has been liberalised in the name of the consumer. Competition, it is said, will benefit everybody. But competition, as Leijten noted, only really exists for large organisations. Private citizens can't post letters in Sandd or Selekt mailboxes. There aren't any. Ordinary Dutch people still have to pay 46 cents to send a TNT letter.
TNT is being forced by the hedge funds and other transnational shareholders who control its destiny to split up, even as it tries to beautify its bottom line by replacing reasonably paid jobs with badly paid ones. Deutsche Post is pulling out of the Netherlands and selling Selekt to Sandd – a company that has never made a profit. Sandd, set up by a group of ex-TNT managers, pioneered the distinctive Dutch style of private mail delivery.

CanadaPost isn't open late? Shoppers is. Unless you feel it's better to take time from work, drive downtown, pay for parking and drive all the way home to pick up or drop off a parcel?
Would that save you money as a consumer? Yes or no?

Ok.. So far, Canada's foray into the outsourcing program has been a great success.
No doubt.. Can you imagine the union demands for premium wages + overtime + danger pay?
The cost of a stamp would need to be $5.
Agreed!
