Canadian Postal Service Strike

[worldhazard]

As of 6/20/2011

I understand this may very well not be the appropriate forum for this, but I felt it worked. As trade is dealt between borders (USA/Canadialand) it's not happening right now.

I tried shipping items to the great north, and the US postal service would not do it, informing me that Candadia Postal folks are on strike. I did just Google it to see what is the latest, but I'm at work, and don't have enough time to read.

Mods, feel free to do with this as you wish.

Actually, we are not on strike, the employer locked us out. We wanted to keep working and they decided that they didn't want us to keep the mail running.

F*cking Slackers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are not all slackers, although I believe that there are lazy people working for CPC, we all don't fall into that catagory........unless you are calling Canadian Postal Corporation slackers for not continuing the negotiations and trying to come to a new contract with the union. I believe there are slackers on both sides in this case.....lol.

Yes, if you are shipping a parcel, the other alternatives are available and are busy as hell with the extra workload that they are carrying because of the lockout.

The government did put a "Back to work order" on the table for legislation, but that will take a few days to go through and the NDP are trying to slow it down because they don't believe that the government should go this route since the government owns CPC and it seems to be trying to break the union and not allow for a fair contract.

Either way, I just want to go back to work and am getting pissed at both sides.....I can't wait to be able to get back to work and get paychecks again...
