It seems to be starting with a ban on all overtime so packages should still be
getting delivered but the company will be working slower. Mostly likely it will
escalate to a more significant impact within the next few weeks unless a deal
is reached
I feel like it’s such a hollow gesture from the union when you consider this
statement from the Globe and Mail:
“Canada Post said some customers had already begun shifting to other delivery
providers or cancelling mailings in anticipation of potential service disruptions”
If businesses (like ours!) can’t have confidence that service won’t be stopped
and they move to other carriers, then there will be significantly less packages
for Canada Post to deliver - eventually, no need for overtime shifts.
I wish they would just properly strike - or accept what’s being offered, considering
that Canada Post is still projected to lose $1 billion+ a year. We can’t trust
Canada Post to deliver anything until it’s settled, so why drag it out in phases
and escalate? Is it solely so the workers can continue to draw wages instead
of strike pay?

Indeed, it’s quite unfortunate how it’s all playing out, I get not taking the
first offer, especially if the company is highly profitable but right now that
are loosing hundreds of millions a year and they still want more of everything
