Economy Canada Post goes on strike again

[ColemanwastheGOAT]

They're only losing half a billion dollars a year currently. This should help.

According to the union, its list of demands includes wage increases aligned with inflation, enhancements to group benefits — such as coverage for fertility treatments and gender-affirming care — improved protections against technological changes, more paid medical leave, paid meal and rest periods and higher short-term disability payments.

Canada Post issues lockout notice after union’s strike warning - National | Globalnews.ca

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers said in a statement Tuesday morning that it has issued a 72-hour strike notice, but it remains unclear if employees will walk off the job.

Oh look, it's more of that trans shit that conservatives are 'obsessed' with. Lefties never talk about this stuff. They certainly don't shut down the national postal service over it. Nope. It's conservatives.

Canada Post letter carrier Peter Yen desperately wants you to pay for him to cut his penis off.

Right before Christmas as usual.

I look forward to all the lefties who threw the dock workers union under the bus when they tried to strike last month suddenly supporting unions again now that they aren't worried about the effect this will have on the election.

Lol.

That's not Petr Yan.

Fake news.

We need a sub-forum for CANadians to discuss things no one cares about.

Lazy ass dude. He refused to even carry his own package ...

I guess I won’t be getting any hand written Xmas cards this year. Canada post is inefficient. Mail should be delivered to seniors and disabled only. The rest of us should have to pick stuff up if we really need it.

Mail still gets delivered to your door? We haven't had that for 25 years up north.

Yeah. It’s such a waste. I don’t even know why. I get some older people still don’t have every bill etc electronically. If you are under 65 you shouldn’t need to get anything by mail.

A lot of people get their Amazon packages delivered to PO boxes in Canada

I guess if cp can get extra money doing that. Again, it’s just not efficient. I’m not sure if co is still hiring people, but they shouldn’t be.

Is it really worth making a thread about the Canada Post strike simply over one relatively insignificant demand, no matter how dumb it sounds?

2024 has been an unprecedented year for job action in Canada as somewhat coincidentally almost every bargaining unit’s collective agreement seems to be up this year, following the inflation problems we’ve been having the last couple of years. We’ve had strikes or threats of strikes from West Jet, Air Canada, multiple municipalities, dock workers on both coasts, now the postal service, and in Alberta they’re looking at potential nurses strike.

55,000 Canada Post workers are off the job and you’re worried about them wanting their group benefits provider to change to a plan that covers chopping dicks off, when this strike, like every other strike this year across the country, has really been about living wages in our post-Covid inflation crunch?

Then why are they asking for 'gender affirming care?'

Why are they specifically asking for something if they don't actually want it?

Every fucking issue.

Here's the thing.
That's not a thing.
Here's a document saying that's a thing.
OK that's a thing but it's not widespread.
Here's a document saying it's widespread.
OK yeah it's widespread but blah blah blah

Can we just skip the steps FFS. It's the same shit every time.

I didn’t say they didn’t want it at all. I said it’s far, far less important than wages. Like anything in labour relations negotiations there’s going to be a huge list of demands. Your average collective agreement is like 400 pages long. This is probably one item of about 30 or 40 demands by the union. What I’m saying is singling out one item and pretending the dispute is about that one item is extremely disingenuous. When push comes to shove certain demands hit the cutting room floor.

For example, with this particular demand, I can see the negotiations going like this:

Canada Post - “Ok, we’ll explore different benefit providers and see if we can find one that covers gender affirming care. But if we can’t find one that’s going to cost less than $300/month for the employees’ portion of the premium what do you want to do?”

Union - “Anything over $300/month for the employee portion of the premiums is too much. If you can’t find one we’ll just stick with our current benefit provider”

Canada Post “Ok, sounds good”

Make it happen.

To be fair though, Israel-Palestine is far more interesting than TS not being able to write letters to Santa.

TBH that’s literally the only thing I personally care about the postal strike, is my kids potentially not getting to write their letters to Santa this year.

I’m sure my wife is upset about not being able to send Christmas cards but I don’t give a shit, that’s a huge fucking hassle.
