Canada Post Woes (merged)

[Bruce Monkhouse]

Might as well privatize the while thing and get someone with some business sense in there.

No one with business sense would touch it.
I'm a Union guy, but their leadership in this case is going to cost the workers dearly.
Which is going to kill a lot of small businesses and charities.

Does that include managers?

Generally managers don’t count under unions but I am not sure on their specifics.

It is common in the broader PS to have mid-managers , professionals, etc. represented by their own bargaining unit. I know within the CP, Postmaster and A/Postmasters have their own 'association' which is their legal bargaining unit.

They are not covered under the union rules.

I have a family member who was let go in that last round after 24 years of service. Was pretty much left to his own devices to deal with the layoff.

Unlike unionized employees, who have collective agreements outlining their termination rights, non-unionized managers must navigate severance negotiations independently.

Sounds like they dont have right to recall . It's permanent.

Without a union, they have to retain a lawyer to negotiate a severance package.

Which is what he did. Ended up getting more than they offered.

I don't know, I have always had great service from my posties. I make a point of chatting to them when we meet. Also had two friends that worked as posties, a world of difference between the inside and outside workers.

I haven’t physically received a package at my door from Canada post since 2017. Even when I am home (and I have heard them more than once), there is no effort to knock or contact me. I have also stepped out on them and they said they didn’t have the package I would have to pick it up tomorrow and left me the ticket.

I am sure there is some good employees but there is also lots of poor ones. Those poor ones don’t realize they are costing themselves their job with their laziness.

I want serious reforms to Canada Post to become a reasonably priced service. I don’t even mind a small deficit for the service it provides rural Canada, however this poor quality service well feeding off the tax payer needs to end.

Canada Post cannot be national, single priced, affordable and without public subsidy.
