I do wonder how Poilievre would deal with this.

[Mike K.]

He’d impose back to work legislation and order a review of Canada Post’s business practices, as a start, I think.

You would think that the posties would be hurting enough to take any settlement before too long.

[Victoria Watcher]

In typical government fashion, they have done this a bit late.

In typical government fashion, they have waited till they felt this would most benefit them politically.

 

 

FTFY.

[Barrister]

Have they actually been ordered back to work or is there an intermediate step first?

 

Rather late for most of Christmas. Hope the mailman is not expecting a Christmas envelope from me. 

[Victoria Watcher]

If the body agrees, the return to work will be Monday. Yes too late for most.

Ya, too late for Christmas. They should have just done this right away as there was zero leverage doing a strike like this. It only hurt small business at a critical time. Which they seem to love. The union should have come up with another way to negotiate. This just deprived their members of income at a critical time. They should have put a stop to all government related mail or something. IDK, but this was a lose lose move.

What a way to close out a terrible year for Canada’s economy, though.

And we have crippling tariffs to look forward to starting next year.

Another line in the sand for Singh to step over.

Going back to work Tuesday.

What happens now with your mail? Canada Post said clearing backlog will 'take some time'

 

Corporation won't start accepting new mail until Thursday

WTF?   

[Blair M.]

Between Canada Post management seemingly unable to grasp that the strike is over and getting Christmas mail underway immediately is important to Canadians, the union failing to understand that delivering mail isn't a route to riches, and the entire operation over a billion dollars in debt - it's obvious that the entire organization is completely broken from top to bottom.

Has anyone gotten mail yet?

Has anyone gotten mail yet?

 

I saw a mail person delivering yesterday.  Somebody was getting mail.

3 days back at work and no mail, flyers, anything for me and I don't think for my strata neighbours either.

A postal service is a vestigial organ. We literally do not need a government run postal service.

Email. Fax. FedEx. Amazon. UPS.

Between these services you can get a message or item sent to anywhere in Canada. Without Canada post.

If you live somewhere that is expensive to get to; you should have to pay more for a hard copy letter or parcel to get to you.

90% of our population lives in cities where Canada post is simply not needed. Kill the postal service! It won’t be hard to adapt to life without it

Received mail to my community box both yesterday and today.

[max.bravo]

They keep moving my community mailbox farther and farther from my house. Checking the mail is an annoying task that takes 10 minutes out of every other day. Huge waste of time. Especially if that one chatty neighbor spots me. Kill Canada post!
