Thanks for the kudos; as a letter carrier with Canada Post I try my best to hide parcels at the side of house/behind something, etc. so porch pirates won't see it. It takes more time but I'd like to think customers will appreciate the extra effort to prevent theft :)

[@604Jimmy]

We need to scale down Canada Post. Leave the parcels to private companies, and just do letter mail 2-3 times a week and keep post offices for rural and remote communities.

The union wants what Elon musk is earning 😂😂😂

[@YumstersFries]

It's just CUPW is asking a very high increase. Why 24 percent? Are you telling me that if CP only gave 11.5 percent all CUPW workers will be homeless or broke? End this please. You deserve 24 percent maybe if CP is like a trillion dollar company.

[@Winger222]

What I hear, "If Canada Post doesn't have the money to pay for our wages and benefits, ask the government for more money! After all, it's a crown corporation!" honestly. this whole organization needs to go into bankruptcy and restart.

[@angelicabotones8559]

So it sounds like they are asking to tax Canadians even more?

[@LucasAster-c8z]

why canada post does not hire someone to do those worker's job during the strike? hire new employee to replace them so that it can delay the negation forever?

[@chujiang6643]

I will volunteer for Canada Post to get people's stuff delivered.

You claim 95% were in favor, but I've heard members say they were among 15% that voted against it.

[@PhilippinesTwentytwo]

To those speaking negatively about the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), consider their lasting impact on labor rights for all Canadians and maybe you are benefiting from it too. 1. Paid Maternity Leave: In 1981, CUPW’s efforts secured 17 weeks of paid maternity leave, now a fundamental workplace right across sectors. 2. Minimum Wage Advocacy: They supported initiatives to establish and increase minimum wages nationwide. 3. Job Security: CUPW protected workers’ roles during automation and technological changes. 4. Unsafe Work Protections: They strengthened the right to refuse unsafe conditions. 5. Public Service Advocacy: CUPW resisted privatization to preserve jobs and service accessibility. 6. Work-Life Balance: They set examples for reduced workweeks and fair conditions. These achievements show their dedication to fairness and equity for all workers.

[@mikerose3839]

If they can afford to strike this long thro the holidays, one thing is quite clear. These workers are already way overpaid, I hope they get wage cuts, claw backs, and job losses only in return for this domestic terrorism

[@Jcwhiggins]

Canada Post: Approximately 70% of current employees are at the maximum current salary range, making more than $30 per hour, plus overtime and cost-of-living allowance payments. Thats how they're able to afford to strike for so long. They weren't struggling to put food on the table, they were doing fine and got greedy

[@thelegacy13]

"struggling to put food on the table" shouldn't be the bar for any job. Period. The fact that anyone should have to work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet while the CEO of Canada Post is not only making more money that the Prime Minister of Canada, but also collecting a 2nd huge paycheck from Purolator, is ludicrous. Canadians get turned against each other while the rich get richer.

[@JasonLeePhotoCA]

Let the union members vote on the offer. All the ones I've spoken to can't stand this guy and the union leadership.

[@GordonDavis-j8q]

19 percent wage hike? Completely laughable. Nobody else can get or afford a wage increase that high! Plus they are rude every time anyone goes in for services in my town. Children.

[@jman2k0]

Unskilled labour doesn't have the right to strike! No education? What do you expect. Blame the government for the high cost of living not your employer.

[@JamesSmithTexas]

100 percent. Striking is reserved for high skill workers who feel they aren’t getting the pay they deserve. But it’s just common sense low skilled workers with no education will make minimum wage as they are the bottom of the barrel. These CP workers are actually massively overpaid already.

[@William_Van_Landingham_III]

[@wandabell8092]

How much does Canada Post in British Columbia pay? Average Canada Post hourly pay ranges from approximately $17.51 per hour for Operations Associate to $23.33 per hour for Mail Carrier.

[@RogerReality]

Time to sell Canada Post's stake in Purolator & right size Canada Post for the new business losses. Everyone has forgotten & doesn't care about customers and the 185,000 passports being held and businesses being affected every day. BTW defined benefit pensions went away in the 80's. The Union's ask is too high for a crown corporation losing tons of money.

[@jaysun3149]

Public owned company which provide essential service should not allow to strike.

[@Fuhrertheboss]

They wouldn't need to constantly strike if the corporation would stop cutting wages and benefits

Split the difference at 15 % or so. Get back to work. You will nev 4:16 er recouped what you have lost but at least you got some thing.

All the workers need to peacefully protest outside their bosses houses instead of still technically showing up at work, I think.

Buddy "The federal government can end this by demanding talks..." Reporter "So, what your saying, is the Government can force you back to work, then?" Buddy "No, You're not listening to what I said..."

[@acid_8]

Overly entitled, they don't perform based on what they're already paid. With all that considered and their current pensions is insane. They are a federal essential service workforce. They should be obliged to move Canada's postal service regardless, they have plenty of incentives for present and future. The entitlement is insane when placing into perspective how 9 out of 10 Canadians aren't getting a wage increase/adjustment for inflation or the economic downturn. Legislation needs to be put into place where if anything, the unions will only be allowed to strike up to 15% employees at a time and only in rotation.
