If the non skilled canada post workers asking for 24% raise..otherwise going to strike taking public in hostage ..why not then for the managent to get big bonuses😅
Those workers are at constant risk of injury and accident in most of canada especially in winter. They NEED their benefits and overall safety and wellbeing. Thats what canada post wants to take away
Last strike Arbitration lambasted management and gave a raise. Why are Postal workers making more than 15% less, some even lost almost 50% of their salary. All you hear is 11.5% in 5 years. They don’t actually pay hourly. They have complicated formulas that no one understands to estimate a salary. Then they reduce the salaries. Note: a reduction of more than 15% is illegal except if you belong to a union and have a contract.
Postal workers in Canada are at constant risk of injury and accident especially through the winter months. They deserve their benefits and safety measures and that costs money
They should have fulfilled deliveries sent prior to the strike. They would have gotten my support and the support of many others. Canada Post management should be feeling this, not the customers. I was expecting a very important small package on the 15th and who know if I would ever receive it. This have affected me and I am sure countless of others have expected something important and still waiting. I got no sympathy now and they don't have my support.
The contracts expire in February, and there's timelines under the Canada Labour Code for applying for mediation before either side can be in a legal strike or lockout position, which happened in early November. Now it's up to Canada Post to make an offer the workers can get behind instead of this framework of vague details and bargaining through the media.
Why are they not talking 24/7 to get this done!? I need my paycheck. This is not a game where you get to take a break. Both sides promised to deliver the mail no matter what, and they failed. I will never trust them again. Both sides are at fault. FIX THIS!!!!!! Its not funny!! No breaks in talking. Sit at at table till this gets done!
Agreed, enough is enough now....they are jus taking everything so slow ..not worrying how you are holding my passport hostage. ..I am unable to go out of the country without it ..jus get a solution
I will never forgive this awful strike for hurting so many who rely on Canada Post, even if they agree to a deal immediately. Be grateful to have a job!!
Problem is the CP employees drive canada post. If they are burned out from having to do 2 or 3 jobs, then they wont do as good a job and that will harm CP too. Perhaps they need to find a mutually beneficial solution.
@@user-asdf3lkjh6Actually the opposite. We broke our middle class by abandoning unions where needed. If you want to see how to preserve a first world society, look at france or germany. They have 5 or 6 weeks off even for fast food workers, can afford families and their own places generally, and are often as productive and often healthier due to less burnout than the usa. But they seem to have more experience balancing out union, employee, and company needs. We need to learn that better in canada. We have gutted our middle class for 40 years and reduced them to struggling to pay rent and not even have families. This has to be reversed. Just my thoughts
They should delivery the mail which have been paid by custmers and don't accept any mail before strike. Do the union like put the custmers mails as a bargaining hostage？very very bad ！ My health card stuck in the box. I am angry！
Canada Post employees don’t care about Canadians or the small Canadian businesses. That’s the whole reason they strategically walked out two weeks before Black Friday and the busy Christmas season. Ironically, they are in the comments sections claiming that people should feel ashamed for not supporting them.. That’s why the general consensus of MANY Canadians at this point is for Canada Post to go out of business forever. I wonder what hiring managers will do with the resumes that list years of experience with Canada Post. Throw them straight in the garbage is my guess.
The corporation issued a lockout after the strike and said they would cut wages and benefits along with fire employees for any minor or major mistake and not honor sick days or vacation.....would you go back to work under those conditions? The corp forced ghe union to strike when it did soon as they issued a lockout notice
Yep and the workers are making sure that no money is coming in because of being on the side of the road instead of in the post office working and being like every other Canadian.

@@BiGDuke6Actual Not necessarily. A company that I order from regularly offers a choice between Canada Post and Fed-Ex for shipping. The cost they quote is comparable, though Fed-Ex might deliver a day or two sooner.

Canada Post for as long as I can remember has bankrupted small online businesses in RURAL Canada, not including tiny letter mail, how can you compete with such high shipping here, highest in the world, unless you live bye a Stallion or Chit Chat, you can't compete as a online seller, shipping through Canada Post is outrageous, US is thriving from online sellers through Ebay, Canada could be generating so much income through online sales if the Canada Post shipping wasn't so ridiculous to ship a tee shirt or a pair of jeans, there greed is killing Canadian small businesses. Canadians could be making billions off online businesses, selling new and pre owned goods here across Canada, but instead it all goes into the landfills, it's a dirty sham what Canada Post is doing to this countries economy. Sorry for the rant.
@matwilson7904. Well said. A package that costs around $7 to ship in the US costs us over $20 here in Canada. Often it's cheaper to buy the same item from the US or halfway around the world than it is to shop within your own province.
Canada Post could have avoided this whole thing if they had come prepared to bargain in the first place. For once, the government actually said no to intervention. So, instead of bargaining a year ago when negotiations started, Canada Post is just realizing now that their demands for massive concessions won't fly. This is what happens when the government steps in every time and employers come to expect it.

You dont either it seems based on your disgraceful attitude. You like being treated like that? Or are you just taking your anger out on posties wanting to be able afford families and living life?
CUPW if Canada Post offers you 12% please take it. That's basically 3 percent per year in 4 years time. Your Canada Post is not making money, even if you say the company is mandated to deliver mail and parcel still this company needs money to operate. Just finish this and it's getting annoying when greed is the real reason of your strike. Asking 24% increase is too much for a non-skilled job.
@tc-yq2cb 70 cents per hour which adds up. With the current inflation which is 2 percent that is still up. This needs to stop really. Canada Post and CUPW just meet halfway and end this unwanted situation.
The CEO and VPs and such need to stop with their massive bonuses and what they call their "at risk pay" aka bonus. What are they at risk of? They sit at a desk. The people who are out actually doing the work don't get any at risk pay. $450,000 plus bonuses? Why do they need 15 VPs? No wonder Canada Post isn't getting anywhere when most of the income goes directly into their pockets as pay and bonuses.
Just delivered my gifts to Mississauga from Kingston on the bus (4 to be exact) Two buses, a train and a taxi to get home. I'll never use Canada Post again. I'm done 😡
The backlog is *not* just everything that was in the system 3 weeks ago, as he says. Internationally, senders have still been mailing parcels to Canada, and they've just been piling up for entry into the country. When they get moving again, it will be a deluge, not just for Canada Post, but for Customs as well. Even if a resolution were only a week away, holiday delivery could still be very much affected.
At this point, I hope Canada Post withdraws whatever offer is on the table and makes a new offer of a 5% wage decrease that increases one percentage point every day for the next 15 days. Either they accept the deal at some point and have a 5-20% wage decrease, or Canada Post goes out of business forever. Btw, they should use the pension fund to pay off debts as well… Canada Post has lost BILLIONS since 2018. In the third quarter alone they lost 315 million. Despite this, the union is demanding a 24% wage increase as well as the ability to force Canada Post to pay full time workers double time OT on weekends rather than hire part time employees. Well, well, well…. The workers claim that they are so overworked yet are demanding that they be given more hours on weekends. I wonder if it’s because they can get paid for 8 hours even if their job only takes them 4? On a Saturday, they could work 4 hours, get paid for 8, and all OT is automatically double time; work 4 hours but get paid for 16….. The company is already at death’s door and the employees see no issue with their demands……
Change of model cld have been achieved 10 years ago. But the main intention was and is to dissolve Canada Post... Now they have this man here giving wordless lip service 🤣🤣
I remember a few years ago some protestors blocked the Ambassador Bridge, and all the economists came out saying we're losing millions of dollars in trade every day and the government needs to act immediately. Now this strike is probably worse for the Canadian economy, and yet we aren't seeing the sense of urgency to get the mail moving again. Added to other economic problems, this could decimate Canada's economy. The government is underestimating the magnitude and the cost of this crisis under the false assumption that other mail carriers are mitigating the damage.
Dam from what I hear meeting in the middle 16% and not destroying the pension and benefits will end the strike from employees and the union and corp can argue about weekend delivery as everyone works
Canadian Postal Unions need to be reminded about how the US Mail works and be thankful for what Canadian Postal workers get. How Canada Post survived fax, email, couriers and independent delivery services is a mystery.
Canada post owns atleast 2 of those other courier services. Survive what?.its a public service to serve the public like ttc city workers and other federal jobs.
Executives don’t want a deal because they make more during the strike. They own Purolator and Purolator is busy. Executives get guaranteed bonuses even if they lose money. White glove customers were told strike will go into January, before mediator even left. Maybe they were told that is when forced arbitration will occur. Same thing always happens. Arbitrator gets angry at management for not doing anything. Arbitrator gives raise. Management arranges work to lower salaries. They don’t care they are affecting small businesses. They are making more money during strike.
What's stopping you from applying getting hired. Denounce the union. Pay no union dues then tell the post office you want 19 per hour when they offer you 22 the starting wage? Go do it. Don't talk about it. Be about it. Go. Nobody is gatekeeping the job from you lol. They're desperate for employees cuz everyone quits within 2 years
@hughjazz17 I have applied a few time already for your information, you don't know me, all you do is assume and fly your gums 1000 km/hr behind the computer screen.
Workers are out to lunch. You should get back to work and work as much as you can seeing you will be no longer within 5 years.. have to change. Or you won't have a job period. Gready gready.
Premium customers were told strike will go into January (before mediator even left). I guess that is when forced arbitration will occur. Top end makes more money during strike because Canada Post owns Purolator.
negotiate what? just keep taking ZERO salary, while UPS Fedex amazon, small delivery companies are taking benefits , they are laughing 😂 enjoy your vacation!
My neighbour is a letter carrier for Canada post and is literally home 2-3 hours before his shift is supposed to end because he “finished his route” and still gets paid for his full day. Super nice guy but wouldn’t know what a hard days work is. These guys have gravy if you ask me
those guys are abusing it, a route is not just delivery. They have to go into the plant and grab all their mail and parcels for the day and then starts to arrange everything in order so they can start their route. All routes have different times schedules. There's route that are 10 hours long while others are only a few hours!
So because hes efficient at his job he doesn't know what a hard days work is? Does he take his breaks? Most skip the 1 hr break. There is an hour right there. Another 1 saved for being efficient and find the best possible way to do the route. Are you friends? Do you stalk him. How do you know what time he leaves or arrives at home? If your a friend your a bad friend. Or a friendly neighbor, Atleast have the balls to tell him what you think of him to his face instead of being a coward on the internet. Ever heard the expression walk a mile in my shoes first.....try it out.
Is the union and workers waiting for CP to file bankruptcy and then restart a new CP 2.0 that will be a completely different animal? That’s what’s going to happen. These Luddite’s need to understand that the marketplace is completely different to past decades. To stay afloat lean and trim and efficient and flexible is what’s called for. It cannot continue to operate how it works now.
Every single year until 2018. Tax dollars dont pay them since 1989. So if we the tax payer start paying a public service for 10-15 years so what? 2billion is literally an extra 56$ per citizen but thats not exactly how taxes work
@@4loops435 years and after turning a profit every year since 1989 and that 3 billion the majority were business investments. Also if they were allowed to jack up prices they'd be profitable. They're a public serves obligated to serve every Canadian in the country even at a loss and even if its a single letter or package and at an affordable rate. Either its a public service or a business for profit. Its a contradiction to be both
CUPW wants to sign a contract that doesn't allow Canada Post workers to deliver on weekends? When that agreement expires in 4 years, Canada Post will be long gone. Workers are damaging their future.
wrong, they don't mind working the weekend. What they're against is outsourcing to cheap labor for weekend delivery as well the possibility of weekdays work. That is one of the main problem in the negotiation talk. Also cutting the pension, benefits in half for the existing and future employees as well wages for new employees. The CPC made 6 and 3 billion during the covid years so that's 9 billions. What happened to that 9 billions they made during the last 4 years???? Covid lasted close to 2 years so they're not losing money, what they want is to get rid of the FT, PT and outsourced all the work to cheap contractors and labor and staff the workplace with casual who doesn't have any rights.
Yes but we need to keep our middle class too if we want a real economy with families and affordable housing. Yeah these are not fun, but unions like companies and the middle class all have an important role to play in sustaining a stable economy and society. Just see how the Germans and french balance those needs to maintain a middle class with 5 or 6 weeks off, decent salaries, and often as productive as the us. They also have big companies and much better family support. Perhaps we just need to learn from the french and germans how to better conduct discussions between unions and the company. Read up on it
@padimills1494 lol but companies and people pay and want that advertisement. You cant just refuse customers. Is it first a public service or a for profit business. Currently it operates as for profit and has lived off profits since 1989. But its now needing to be tax funded it seems to remain a needed public service. Idc if its s Attrition of a shrinking workforce and mangement. But they absolutely deserve to be paid a fair wage and most importantly keep a pension. No other public sector turns a profit. Ttc cost 4 billion a year. But we're shitting on postal workers for ghe first time needing tax funding to remain a public service since 1989 and 2 billion a year to every tax payer in canada isn't the same as ttc costing the gta alone 4 billion. Politicians burn through our money with corruption and stupidity and 5 billion to Ukraine but we are gonna keep each other down instead of supporting middle class canadian jobs?
Competitors aka Purolators, 91% CP owned and has the CEO Doug Ettinger among other CP executives sitting on the board of directors. They’re talking out both sides of their mouths.
To those who are saying the postal workers are unskilled or dont deserve more, be careful. You may one day be in the same position and want that support. How would you like people calling you unskilled or lazy? Do you enjoy being insulted? If not, please stop. Try being more understanding please. Just my thoughts
There is a need for Canada Post, but how can they compete with e-commerce and still be profitable? And the multiple couriers out there, that deliver better hours/ more days?
I keep saying this keyboard warriors make a youtube video saying you dont want raise /better work place/no harassment at workplace / bullying and eff up your pension so send that to your employer while making a video lets see if you can do it. This keyboard warrior complain and if its you you will asked for raise...etc.., but check yourself in the mirror stop being a hypocrite. I want my parcel too, been on hold at vancouver somewhere, but we need this over and done with they really need to meet in the middle of this.
Canada post top management shall find alternate methods of serving Canadians, if failed profitable business will go to the performers. If you failed to manage your employees need to find way of exiting the business not to punish citizens.
@didel8945 To be clear, other weekend workers are healthcare, police, firefighters, paramedics, store clerks, restaurant workers, etc. Let's shut all those professions down & see how you do when you are having a heart attack or even chest pains on the weekend. Dumb arse.
The employees fault they quit their jobs now it's on strike before Christmas and they want benefits? That's not how benefits work quitting then expecting something lol
3 BILLION in debtt!! CP mgmt missed the bus on attempting to pivot their business model to save the enterprise...too little too late. Sadly it will hurt many ppl heading into 2025.
I just need my parcel. Can anyone tell me if I can pick in person or how can I get my parcel back. They should deliver the parcels or mails they already accepted.
The longer they go, the less business you'll get after it's over. There are 5 solid options that 100% won't hold my stuff against my will and deliver it as they promised.

I'll believe it when I see it .....but so far it's just BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
The Union wants to get bigger while CP becomes smaller..hahah pure brilliance right there.. 😐
Time to end public service Unions, nothing but greed and institutionalized laziness.
CUPW if Canada Post offers you 12% please take it. That's basically 3 percent per year in 4 years time. Your Canada Post is not making money, even if you say the company is mandated to deliver mail and parcel still this company needs money to operate. Just finish this and it's getting annoying when greed is the real reason of your strike. Asking 24% increase is too much for a non-skilled job.
3 % is like getting a 70 cents raise a year, it's nothing.
Better than nothing for the work that is being done @@tc-yq2cb
@@tc-yq2cbit's not nothing. It's better than nothing.
@@tc-yq2cb It's not nothing. It's what you're worth for your unskilled labor. Face it, you're not important.
@tc-yq2cb 70 cents per hour which adds up. With the current inflation which is 2 percent that is still up. This needs to stop really. Canada Post and CUPW just meet halfway and end this unwanted situation.
The CEO and VPs and such need to stop with their massive bonuses and what they call their "at risk pay" aka bonus. What are they at risk of? They sit at a desk. The people who are out actually doing the work don't get any at risk pay. $450,000 plus bonuses? Why do they need 15 VPs? No wonder Canada Post isn't getting anywhere when most of the income goes directly into their pockets as pay and bonuses.
Fire all these lazy bums.
And hopefully cheaper mail prices than all the other competitors.
Just delivered my gifts to Mississauga from Kingston on the bus (4 to be exact) Two buses, a train and a taxi to get home. I'll never use Canada Post again. I'm done 😡
your not getting any presents you spoiled witch!
The backlog is *not* just everything that was in the system 3 weeks ago, as he says. Internationally, senders have still been mailing parcels to Canada, and they've just been piling up for entry into the country. When they get moving again, it will be a deluge, not just for Canada Post, but for Customs as well. Even if a resolution were only a week away, holiday delivery could still be very much affected.
At this point, I hope Canada Post withdraws whatever offer is on the table and makes a new offer of a 5% wage decrease that increases one percentage point every day for the next 15 days. Either they accept the deal at some point and have a 5-20% wage decrease, or Canada Post goes out of business forever. Btw, they should use the pension fund to pay off debts as well…
Canada Post has lost BILLIONS since 2018. In the third quarter alone they lost 315 million. Despite this, the union is demanding a 24% wage increase as well as the ability to force Canada Post to pay full time workers double time OT on weekends rather than hire part time employees. Well, well, well…. The workers claim that they are so overworked yet are demanding that they be given more hours on weekends. I wonder if it’s because they can get paid for 8 hours even if their job only takes them 4? On a Saturday, they could work 4 hours, get paid for 8, and all OT is automatically double time; work 4 hours but get paid for 16….. The company is already at death’s door and the employees see no issue with their demands……
Change of model cld have been achieved 10 years ago.
But the main intention was and is to dissolve Canada Post...
Now they have this man here giving wordless lip service 🤣🤣
I remember a few years ago some protestors blocked the Ambassador Bridge, and all the economists came out saying we're losing millions of dollars in trade every day and the government needs to act immediately. Now this strike is probably worse for the Canadian economy, and yet we aren't seeing the sense of urgency to get the mail moving again. Added to other economic problems, this could decimate Canada's economy. The government is underestimating the magnitude and the cost of this crisis under the false assumption that other mail carriers are mitigating the damage.
76 million loss per day in the small business sector. By Wednesday, the total loss revenue will be 1 billion.
Dam from what I hear meeting in the middle 16% and not destroying the pension and benefits will end the strike from employees and the union and corp can argue about weekend delivery as everyone works
Many’s are unemployed and looking for work while these folks don’t care about being employed.
Canadian Postal Unions need to be reminded about how the US Mail works and be thankful for what Canadian Postal workers get.
How Canada Post survived fax, email, couriers and independent delivery services is a mystery.
Canada post owns atleast 2 of those other courier services. Survive what?.its a public service to serve the public like ttc city workers and other federal jobs.
The USPS also has a union, but federal law workers are not allowed to strike.
@philipmclaughlin9636 not allowed to strike and make half of what CP employees make
Executives don’t want a deal because they make more during the strike. They own Purolator and Purolator is busy.
Executives get guaranteed bonuses even if they lose money.
White glove customers were told strike will go into January, before mediator even left. Maybe they were told that is when forced arbitration will occur.
Same thing always happens. Arbitrator gets angry at management for not doing anything. Arbitrator gives raise. Management arranges work to lower salaries.
They don’t care they are affecting small businesses. They are making more money during strike.
I'd be willing to work Canada 🇨🇦 Post for $19/hr
What's stopping you from applying getting hired. Denounce the union. Pay no union dues then tell the post office you want 19 per hour when they offer you 22 the starting wage?
Go do it. Don't talk about it. Be about it. Go. Nobody is gatekeeping the job from you lol. They're desperate for employees cuz everyone quits within 2 years
@hughjazz17 I have applied a few time already for your information, you don't know me, all you do is assume and fly your gums 1000 km/hr behind the computer screen.
Wait till you have to pay rent, car payments, and support a family. Then tell me how that goes for you.
Really they are striking I didn’t even know 😂
Workers are out to lunch. You should get back to work and work as much as you can seeing you will be no longer
within 5 years.. have to change. Or you won't have a job period. Gready gready.
Premium customers were told strike will go into January (before mediator even left). I guess that is when forced arbitration will occur.
Top end makes more money during strike because Canada Post owns Purolator.
Go work at Tim Horton.
Government should make welfare recipients deliver the mail to get their monthly cheques 🤷♂️
Terminate the union, then close the company. Contract out.
So you want everyone making min wage, with no benefits and zero OT and never get any wage increases?
@@michaelyun2407 That sounds better than the union ripping off Canadians.
Rent needs to come down to $1000 per month and social assistance needs to be doubled.
@@robertpeter3550even rent come down and double social assistance, there will still be strikes.
@@michaelyun2407again…. No one is saying that…. Dumb as f
Sounds like someone was told to smarten up and get this strike put to bed
negotiate what? just keep taking ZERO salary, while UPS Fedex amazon, small delivery companies are taking benefits , they are laughing 😂
enjoy your vacation!
My neighbour is a letter carrier for Canada post and is literally home 2-3 hours before his shift is supposed to end because he “finished his route” and still gets paid for his full day. Super nice guy but wouldn’t know what a hard days work is. These guys have gravy if you ask me
those guys are abusing it, a route is not just delivery. They have to go into the plant and grab all their mail and parcels for the day and then starts to arrange everything in order so they can start their route. All routes have different times schedules. There's route that are 10 hours long while others are only a few hours!
He sounds like an efficient worker, should he be punished for finishing his work ahead of schedule?
Glad I don’t have a judgmental neighbour like you.
@bighoss7437 yeah you, a random person online would know the guy better than the original commenter?
So because hes efficient at his job he doesn't know what a hard days work is?
Does he take his breaks? Most skip the 1 hr break. There is an hour right there. Another 1 saved for being efficient and find the best possible way to do the route.
Are you friends? Do you stalk him. How do you know what time he leaves or arrives at home?
If your a friend your a bad friend. Or a friendly neighbor, Atleast have the balls to tell him what you think of him to his face instead of being a coward on the internet.
Ever heard the expression walk a mile in my shoes first.....try it out.
Is the union and workers waiting for CP to file bankruptcy and then restart a new CP 2.0 that will be a completely different animal? That’s what’s going to happen. These Luddite’s need to understand that the marketplace is completely different to past decades. To stay afloat lean and trim and efficient and flexible is what’s called for. It cannot continue to operate how it works now.
No place without a union will fire you if you do your job and show up for work 😂
when has Canada Post ever made a profit in the last 20 years. If they are not making money sell it already.
They lost 3 billion in the last 3 yrs!
Every single year until 2018. Tax dollars dont pay them since 1989. So if we the tax payer start paying a public service for 10-15 years so what? 2billion is literally an extra 56$ per citizen but thats not exactly how taxes work
@@4loops435 years and after turning a profit every year since 1989 and that 3 billion the majority were business investments. Also if they were allowed to jack up prices they'd be profitable. They're a public serves obligated to serve every Canadian in the country even at a loss and even if its a single letter or package and at an affordable rate.
Either its a public service or a business for profit. Its a contradiction to be both
@@4loops43 why don't they sell it off to the public if that is true
CUPW wants to sign a contract that doesn't allow Canada Post workers to deliver on weekends? When that agreement expires in 4 years, Canada Post will be long gone. Workers are damaging their future.
wrong, they don't mind working the weekend. What they're against is outsourcing to cheap labor for weekend delivery as well the possibility of weekdays work. That is one of the main problem in the negotiation talk. Also cutting the pension, benefits in half for the existing and future employees as well wages for new employees. The CPC made 6 and 3 billion during the covid years so that's 9 billions. What happened to that 9 billions they made during the last 4 years???? Covid lasted close to 2 years so they're not losing money, what they want is to get rid of the FT, PT and outsourced all the work to cheap contractors and labor and staff the workplace with casual who doesn't have any rights.
they all should be grateful too have a job !
Enjoy the race to the bottom
Yes but we need to keep our middle class too if we want a real economy with families and affordable housing. Yeah these are not fun, but unions like companies and the middle class all have an important role to play in sustaining a stable economy and society.
Just see how the Germans and french balance those needs to maintain a middle class with 5 or 6 weeks off, decent salaries, and often as productive as the us. They also have big companies and much better family support.
Perhaps we just need to learn from the french and germans how to better conduct discussions between unions and the company.
Read up on it
Outsource ❗️
Double pay weekends and 7 weeks vacation wasn't enough...
Had no idea the postal workers went on strike, til I was told last Thursday.
Thank you for news related to CUPW❤
Why did the union decide to strike during the busiest time of the year that was ill advised 😅😅
Let's have letter delivery only once a week and NO FLYERS. Let the couriers deliver parcels. They are just lucky to have a job.
What about the customers that pay for flyer delivery and want their flyer sent out before specific days?
@@hughjazz17 Just forget the flyers we will figure out another way. It's just consumerism.
@padimills1494 lol but companies and people pay and want that advertisement. You cant just refuse customers.
Is it first a public service or a for profit business. Currently it operates as for profit and has lived off profits since 1989. But its now needing to be tax funded it seems to remain a needed public service.
Idc if its s
Attrition of a shrinking workforce and mangement. But they absolutely deserve to be paid a fair wage and most importantly keep a pension.
No other public sector turns a profit. Ttc cost 4 billion a year. But we're shitting on postal workers for ghe first time needing tax funding to remain a public service since 1989 and 2 billion a year to every tax payer in canada isn't the same as ttc costing the gta alone 4 billion.
Politicians burn through our money with corruption and stupidity and 5 billion to Ukraine but we are gonna keep each other down instead of supporting middle class canadian jobs?
Competitors aka Purolators, 91% CP owned and has the CEO Doug Ettinger among other CP executives sitting on the board of directors. They’re talking out both sides of their mouths.
reading the comments! 😂
To those who are saying the postal workers are unskilled or dont deserve more, be careful. You may one day be in the same position and want that support.
How would you like people calling you unskilled or lazy? Do you enjoy being insulted? If not, please stop.
Try being more understanding please.
Just my thoughts
Two blade sword，the strike is. During the strike Canada post empolyees got no paid, and we need to get accustomed to the life woithout CANADA POST!!!!
Canada post should think of competitive management team re structuring instead blaming the down the level
You deliver envelopes for a living. Maybe time to come down to earth.
Is that all you think they do?? Only envelopes 😂😂 wake up
😂
So you want everyone making min wage, with no benefits and zero OT and never get any wage increases?
If you don't really know the job or haven't walked 18 kilometers a day don't comment
Obviously uneducated dumb comment because you don't know the job
It’s expensive to deal with Canada post, an added cost of 10 % for every money order sent, it’s insanely expensive for postage in Canada
Im literally cursing both the parties..
my family and my mental health is getting triggered..
Lots of courrier companies out there...for parcels....sign up for electronic delivery cut down on postal delivery
There is a need for Canada Post, but how can they compete with e-commerce and still be profitable? And the multiple couriers out there, that deliver better hours/ more days?
I keep saying this keyboard warriors make a youtube video saying you dont want raise /better work place/no harassment at workplace / bullying and eff up your pension so send that to your employer while making a video lets see if you can do it. This keyboard warrior complain and if its you you will asked for raise...etc.., but check yourself in the mirror stop being a hypocrite. I want my parcel too, been on hold at vancouver somewhere, but we need this over and done with they really need to meet in the middle of this.
I need my machisaymas shipped! ASAP!!
Canada post top management shall find alternate methods of serving Canadians, if failed profitable business will go to the performers. If you failed to manage your employees need to find way of exiting the business not to punish citizens.
Canada Post is on strike?
That must be why my mailbox hasn't been stuffed with useless junk mail for the last 3 weeks
Junk you can refuse but accept. Weird flex bro
i will never use canada post ever again. I dont care if i need to pay more for sending packages, im not doing business with them anymore.
The only one allowed to work weekends is Amazon workers, Trudeau buddies
@didel8945 To be clear, other weekend workers are healthcare, police, firefighters, paramedics, store clerks, restaurant workers, etc. Let's shut all those professions down & see how you do when you are having a heart attack or even chest pains on the weekend. Dumb arse.
The employees fault they quit their jobs now it's on strike before Christmas and they want benefits? That's not how benefits work quitting then expecting something lol
3 BILLION in debtt!! CP mgmt missed the bus on attempting to pivot their business model to save the enterprise...too little too late. Sadly it will hurt many ppl heading into 2025.
I just need my parcel. Can anyone tell me if I can pick in person or how can I get my parcel back. They should deliver the parcels or mails they already accepted.
Too bad the union is looking to cave this early .
The longer they go, the less business you'll get after it's over. There are 5 solid options that 100% won't hold my stuff against my will and deliver it as they promised.
@@MrBlairskiecanada post owns 2 of those companies
@@hughjazz17 And they are open today.
I'm thinking of moving to Africa. Do you think Africand would give a good paying job in a Canadian?

Delivery is usually paid by the mailer not the recipient, in some companies case it's included in the item's purchase price.
Some democracy please, where are the real question miss?
The only way canada post has a chance to beat their competition is offering services 24/7
In WW1 both sides put aside their differences for Christmas. They both need to find the spirit of Christmas or it won't gain them any sympathy.
Canada Post is run by a bunch of Windows 95 mentality, that is the problem, they outgrew the company, we need fresh legs and entrepreneurs skills.
3 days before the strike started I got 3 pieces of mail that were from January. Almost a whole year lol where were they this whole time?
How do you know they were from jan? How do you know it was the post office fault amd not the sender or receiver?
