To All Media Organization in Canada . . . . Please ask Canada Post Management The Following 1) Whose Fault is it if Sales Volumes are down for the last few years. 2) Why did Management give themselves Bonuses and Incentives this year if they are are making losses 3) Did they offer Bonuses and Incentives to Union Members 4) Do they say Investments in a new state of the art mail processing plant is part of the loss 5) Do they say that part of the loss is also because they purchased new EV Delivery Van's which are not being used ? Why were they purchased. 6) Is the Management negotiating for 1 year with the Union and allowed the strike to happen in the peak period ? I Urge the All The Canadian Media to push Canada Post Spokesperson to answer these questions. Thank You P.S. Most responses to this post are from Management !!!

Privatization will fix this

[@Prediculous]

We don't really need mail delivery. Everything can be online. 24% increase is absolutely wild. Give them 2.5% y/y and that's it. They're low skilled workers and this industry can easily be outsourced to individual drivers. Silliness.

[@GerryAtrick-y6c]

tell that to FedEx UPS and Purolator

[@johntitorii6676]

Thry turned down 11.5% over 4 years

[@Prediculous]

@johntitorii6676 they will get 12.5% lmao. They can't afford more

[@Corey-v9n]

agreed you need a grade 2 level of education to be a mail person, you work 5-6 hours a dy you have good benefits you have paid days off you have more then you need and your pay is stable you have enough to afford to buy a house drive a car and suppoirt yourself you have a pension and all you fucking do is walk and put mail in a box my gawd you deal with the weather thats your only fight get over yourself honestly carpenters who have to have a very wide amount of skills and knowledge get paid the same or less then you do and our job is is much more challenging then yours and we just wake up and go do the work stop being babies deliver mgad damn mail!

[@MrTBeatRocky]

@@Prediculous you’re right everything can be done online…but a large part of the population (seniors) don’t know how to do anything online. They rely on paper bills, checks, bank statements. The reason Canada hasn’t been able to fully end door to door delivery in 35 years years is cause old people cry about it…

[@thzy209]

they need to hurry up i need my packages

[@paulodasilva5499]

So many lies. How much did canada post pay you.

[@nicolelehoux6431]

Let them stay on strike and let's privatise. We DO NOT want to pay for their sex change operations. How ridiculous and insulting!

[@PadrickNonis]

GET EDUCATED! YOU WONDER WHY YOU CAN'T PAY BILLS IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE ACTUAL MONEY.

[@johndork6387]

Canadapost will counter offer with lower salary and benefits for the striking workers to save costs and become competitive in the future.

[@aidenprintup4547]

This is all b.s

[@JamesThorlakson-ky7xd]

Privatize them

[@dougs2k808]

Yeah! Let's reduce service and make it more expensive just like the competitors! Get out of here with your nonsense. You think a private company is going to deliver to the millions of Canadians at a loss that Canada Post has to? If so, why are they doing it now?

[@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095]

​. The union is the problem. Alot of workers want to return.. If was a rotating strike, at least some backlog would be cleared. It will take weeks...months even if they start up during holiday season... Theyll be swamped and thats where being organised comes in. Not 1 pkg in last 3 yrs ive gotten came on time...even some said pkg delivered and no sign of them...sadly now...lots of parcel options...might pay bit more...but when they say will deliver by noon tomorrow...its there...when you have a canada post issue...takes hrs to even speak to someone...its always automated and you never get a straight answer...frustrating is all.

[@GerryAtrick-y6c]

rotating strikes are for chumps

[@JamesThorlakson-ky7xd]

Back in the 80s they privatized the liquor stores in Alberta. It seems to going fine. Longer hours ​@@dougs2k808

[@ricklab3705]

Take my word the strike will last until April😂🎉😂🎉

[@laurienicholson9794]

We were essential during the pandemic. Not essential now. Whatever Canada 😮

[@EdmontonHockeyNight]

I just emailed the current CEO my resume. 🤞

[@aucontraire1986]

Just let them go bankrupt.

[@burnlootmonkey_blmcrossdresser]

🤣🤣🤣 higher wages with less work means higher losses. ndpeconomics

[@angelamarson6908]

Only FROM 1977 TO 2017 WE BRANDED THE POSTAL CODES. NICE MAN. NO IT IS OWNED BY HMCS CANADA 4 CADETS . THE GOVT HAVE ZERO MONEY .WE NEVER RUN OUT .ATM INC.

[@Jamiemundy32]

[@BIGLOVE201130]

Idk the management is sleeping and making bank while paying staff peanuts

[@wandasmith1723]

I hope I get my Avon Packages before Christmas or my customers will be upset.

[@TheElizabethMcconkey39]

it’s not your fault…..tell your customers to blame canada post workers

[@teresawilson3893]

You all think the post is different from government they all take take and screw the rest of us! Eventually people get sick of this bs! And make a forced change just like we’re going to do with trudummie.

[@mohansega9812]

😮CANADA POST ALREADY TOOK TOO MUCH WAGES, BUT WHY THIS PEOPLE STRIKES???😮😮

[@angelamarson6908]

Very good🎉

Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'.

Did you know that if you mail a letter in Canada you are involved in criminal activity and can go to jail.

[@captaintrips9606]

The upper management need to be put in prison
