I disagree that it doesn’t work what’s happened? Is Canada Pošta greatly reduced wages of new employees and the number of hirees when Internet started slashing the snail mail industry. If you remember Canada post charge the seat $35 for free Internet for life and then shut it down less than a year later after they took our money and never gave it back then all of a sudden Amazon came along & Canada post started making Bank in a huge way. No increases to their employees wages. No new hires to compensate for the extra heavy mail … and mostly the federal government made no increase to the taxes of merchants who are being hurt by the mail order business. This is federal government issues, not a management and not a union issue.

Saying that it is, it’s gonna hurt the wrong people and right here in Alberta it’s gonna play right into the hands of these awful fucking human beings that are running our government currently and the foreign oil conglomerates that are pushing the separation of line

Great article! As another business in the area, although one that doesn't rely as heavily on Canada Post, I firmly stand in support of postal workers. I have many friends who are posties. I have seen & heard directly from them the very real issues that go beyond $$. Canada Post has the highest rate of injury in the federal sector. More than RCMP officers. I've seen friends lose their mobility for yrs, & in one case having rescued mobility for the rest of their life due to injury delivering mail. It's a hard job (both in and outside of the sorting facility) and they deserve the best we can give them. The execs need to take huge pay cuts.
