Government Steps In! Ending the Canada Post Strike

[@paulchristie2118]

What's being done to trim Canada Post management?

You do a better job reporting the facts then cbc or ctv Keep up the good work 👏

[@monte129]

The union may very well defy any order given. Let’s see what happens.

[@truedoh2831]

Then they all risk losing their jobs

[@RenatoDeang-w2r]

Canada post CEO Doug Ettinger is also Purolator board of director. His raking lots of money plus bonuses on both companies.

[@PracticaProphetica]

I just had a couple of packages delivered by Purolator to my door tonight, that were from China. These deliveries were always Canada Post in the past, so I wonder if Purolator are sneaking in a few CP deliveries? Good on them, if they did! I wish the guy would have hung around, I would have tipped him!

[@prophetmargin7497]

All the courier companies have been working around the clock to make up the difference!

[@Jess33-w1o]

Canada post owns Purolator. Truth right there

[@truedoh2831]

They weren't sneaking in anything. Some courier companies would hand-off to Canada Post but instead switched to other companies.

Wow its put up or shut for the NDP failure now to vote non confidence after the leader stood in front of postal workers and said he would if the Liberals forced them back to work a failure here will end their party.

[@mariefrance4872]

It's frustrating for the postal workers and I understand that, But I agree with most who mentioned it should be an essential service, the strike should have kept some operations going even if the service would be slow. We all had enough at this point and Im glad we're starting to see some light out of this...

[@murdy1975]

Finally, I hope, waiting for a few cheques..

[@univerzaltruth6481]

I have no sympathy for postal workers. The gall to claim entitlements that they are not due. All Canadians are suffering. They simply proved how selfish they are and how greedy the union is.

[@PracticaProphetica]

Unfortunately, unions, in their later phases, tend to bring out the worst of human nature.

[@MrChrisMiner]

You are misinformed! Do much more research!

[@Jess33-w1o]

Very misinformed. Ask me anything ...I'll answer. Cp employee here. If you knew the bonuses the corporation make off our backs ...the wages of ceo..vps..superintendents...directors...managers you would understand more. Cupw brought you maternity leave years ago and companies followed suit. Brought you 8 hr days ot after 8...40hr weeks. We were on the picket line for all Canadians trust me please as I know it did not seem that way to all. The ceo of Canada post sits of board of directors as well for Purolator and the day the strike began...gave 65% decrease to businesses. That's called union busting and I believe he will be fired for this. Please believe me I understand the publics opinions and frustration...I've had no wage for a month trying to stand strong on the line for all workers...unionized or not. There is so much more to this than the public knows.

[@robertbridgen2950]

@@MrChrisMiner 45,000 to 95,000 is not enough for posting letters give me a break.

[@robertbridgen2950]

@@Jess33-w1o Amazing you do all the work and management and CEO's. get the money. So how much do you want to deliver letters being 45k or 95,000k is not enough and a pension for sucking on the taxpayers tit. If you are so upset find another job. Do not take it out on Children over Christmas . Do a search on how much postal workers get in Canada will blow most peoples mind.

[@APR613]

Good news about negotiations. I was an active union steward for CWA, Communications Workers Of America, when I worked for New York Tel, NYNEX, Bell Atlantic and Verizon Communications. Very early on, we went on strike for 7 months! Negotiations are seldom easy and sometimes, The National Labor Relations Board gets called in to “help” settle the strike. So you are making progress. The way I see it, governments tax you to death and do have the money for higher wages and benefits. Some politicians become quite affluent in their positions. Believe me, the Government has the money and they want to keep it. So good work for the postal union and the good people of Canada.

[@robertbridgen2950]

The government has no money it is the taxpayer that pays and to be honest why is it Canada Post loses millions each year and other businesses in the same industry are making mega profits. We need to look at how government businesses run. Shut Canada Post Down it is a scam on taxpayers

[@BayBye2011]

the government should have stepped in a heck of a lot sooner as a lot of charities, isolated communities, and areas who rely on CP are suffering big time. and those who still get their pensions thru CP are facing evictions and can not pay their bills....they picked the one wrong time of the year to make Canadians suffer... if they are not happy they are free to quit and get another job but try to find one that pays better and has better extras like healthcare, pension, sick days, vacation etc....

[@peace-c2r]

You should do a labour unifying song about it, like your old "just watch TV" song, which was very entertaining, way back when.

[@robertbridgen2950]

Shut Canada post down . The government should look at why other parcel delivery and envelope service makes a profit and Canada post lost billions over the last 5 years.

[@tanyak4868]

Completely misleading comment. Canada Post management wants what you want. Here's the problem remote and rural communities and they are supposed to be an affordable service for all Canadians to use. It is a service. An essential service. They don't want to pay for essential part of service. They want to cut that mandate loose and as you said sell our assets and compete with commercial private businesses. That profit was never supposed to be their priority but providing essentials. And with increasing domestic terrorism. You want to remove a body that tracks and monitors domestic packages delivered. Gain perspective. Business leaders prioritize money and bonuses for themselves. Keep post office public protect people from further price gouging and protect their rights to essentials

[@mikehart160]

The government has no business forcing people back to work,,,no one has legal privilege that would make them have control over you,,,,unless your sheep,,,,

[@thetruthergirls]

@mikehart160 In Quebec the police went on strike in the 70s and there was a rash of bank robberies. The police are no longer allowed to walk off the job. Some services are essential and shouldn't be suspended.

[@Jon-hx7pe]

if they don't want to work for amount paid - they should quit and find higher skilled work. there are plenty of people who would be glad to take their place and it would be a pay-raise.

[@MrChrisMiner]

My comment was related to the individual saying they have no sympathy for postal workers.

[@johnstephenson2428]

It's a perfect situation.They can go back to work until may.Then they can go on strike again.Until hell freezes over because people will be ready for it this time.

[@joannepinnow6929]

I'm all for everyone making a good wage. But to strike at this time of the year....they must have thought that they would get their demands met due to pressure from Canadians angry that they can't send Christmas packages. But for me it's had the opposite effect. I feel that striking at this time of year was a manipulative move. I think they may have had more public support if they would have waited till after Christmas - and of course delivered essential mail like cheques.

[@APR613]

Of course they strike when it is advantageous to do so. It would be counter productive to strike if no one needs them. It is the only negotiation power a union has. And it helps to get the strike settled as quickly as possible with a better outcome for the workers. Put yourself in their position. Would you rather work for pennies or dollars?

[@linaway76]

Negotiations have been going on since AUGUST 2023! It is Canada post that refuses to negotiate. In Canada the charter of rights and freedoms only applies until you inconvenience the government. Don’t think for a second this was done to help Canadians and businesses. This was a power play done by the government and to only help the government.

[@joannepinnow6929]

@@linaway76 Actually I wasn't thinking this was done to help Canadians and businesses. Not at all. But thanks for commenting and sharing your opinion.

[@joannepinnow6929]

@@APR613 What I said, if you read my comment, is that I'm all for people making a good wage. And striking now doesn't seem to be helping to get things settled with a better outcome for workers. They are needed all year round (there are birthdays and other occasions all year round). Thanks for your comment and sharing your opinion.

Thank you for the update video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnbolt665]

We get no paper mail and just the odd Amazon package comes in the mail, but that will likely end with this strike, they have literally put themselves out of business

[@prophetmargin7497]

Great news, I thought the strike was going to go on into the new year for sure!

[@ModernOfficeGirl]

The gov't intervenes when the union asks them to; it looks better that the union "didn't back down" so it allows them to save face. It was clear to them they were not going to get their demands and weren't enjoying earning less on strike pay than their regular pay. LOL@ "aposhalypse" LOL

[@gcpellerin]

They are a crown corporation and deemed an essential service, so they should not have been permitted to strike in the first place.

[@robertbridgen2950]

It is not an essential service. We can live without Canada post and get letters and parcels delivered without Canada ;post.

[@thetruthergirls]

@@robertbridgen2950 depends where you live.

[@mikerose3839]

💯. It is actually illegal for them not to deliver in a timely matter. It's breach of contract on millions of items. They should be swiftly punished and all rights to strike be removed forever

[@PracticaProphetica]

@@robertbridgen2950 While theoretically that might be possible, it would involve moving a lot of business into other channels. In a sense, we are dependent on Canada Post, because it has been made essential. This could be changed, but the alternatives are not in place right now, to handle this, especially in rural areas.
