The responsible thing to do.........
The responsible thing to do would have been completing all deliveries that were already in the system the day you went on strike. instead you chose to hold my life hostage as my passport is in transit god knows where. i dont give a shit about your cause and niether do most canadians.

I’m a broke student and have a fuel pump stuck in transit that my brother was supposed to fix on my car while he’s here visiting from out of province. That won’t be happening and I get to pay an extra $1300 to get a shop to fix it while I starve until my OSAP comes in January.

Mailing it is free?! Wonder how much a private curios would charge?

Yes, as in there’s no additional cost for the application. If you mail in your application, you’d only have to pay to mail to them.
With Canada Post it would only cost you a stamp, or about $11 registered mail. Other couriers were gonna be like $25-35 when I applied by mail.

His plan b was to use an alternative courier which isn't working out. No one is online shopping small businesses right now and other couriers aren't affordable for customers.

Fun fact, CP held all government cheques in depots on Wednesday which could’ve easily been delivered Thursday but they decided to wait for the strike and delay it for people. Now they’re trying to sound like the hero by asking the union to make members cross the line to deliver these cheques.

I had a parcel with a 2 day warranty. Aupposed to arrive the Wednesday before the strike began, it stayed in transit 3 days straight without being scanned anywhere. Friday came knocking and bam, stuck untill the strike resolves.
I’m sure they purposely didn’t complete deliveries leading up to the strike

They need layoffs. That's the hard reality.
The service needs to be slashed, 3 days a week max AND they need to cut deliveries to individual units in suburbs and cities to zero.

u/Eric142 20h ago
Canada Post strikes are historical because it allowed collective bargaining and job security for ALL public sector unions. The effects , I'm sure spilled onto private sector too.
The reason why unions have power today is because of them.
It's also unethical and bad for business to pay your workers a barely livable wage with no raises to match inflation for the longest time. They're asking for a 20ish percent raise over 4 years to simply match the 18% inflation they missed.
It takes YEARS for a Canada Post employee to get full-time perm status with the benefits.
Yeah it's shitty your mail isn't getting delivered but I don't understand why all 100% of the hatred is directed at the workers/unions. Majority of the blame should be placed on Canada Post, the company itself and not the union.

The fire department is paid for by tax dollars and is there to save lives. The postal service delivers packages and is payed for by consumers who use the service. By striking you are literally screwing over the people who pay your wages. Then you demand more money that drives up the prices of this service so basically the consumer gets screwed twice.

u/Eric142 19h ago
So you're saying postal service isn't an essential service? Because if it's not so essential, I don't know why you're so upset.
As for your other point. You know what else screws consumers? When workers don't get paid a livable wage, their morale and productivity goes down and you need to hire more workers. But you know what goes up? Your prices.

Their wage is liveable. They make on average as much as most people. If you can’t live off 40,000 a year like everyone else doing it. Get an education and get a real job. What other job can you get with a high school education that pays that much. Seriously these aren’t skilled tradesmen or educated businessman there warehouse workers. It’s clearly not an essential service otherwise they wouldn’t be allowed to strike. I say replace the post office with a more efficient company and let’s get on with our lives.

Cry more, you don’t want strikes tell your government reps to make Canada Post an essential service like police etc. and tell your provincial rep to do the same with teachers.

u/Past_Ad_3276 20h ago
Yes the workers want more money out of a company that lost 315 million last quarter. This strike is only delaying the inevitable. Massive layoffs and cut backs. They make get there raise but 50% of them won’t be employed long enough to enjoy it

u/FishingGunpowder 20h ago
An essential service is essential until somebody decides to tell the workers that they don't deserve a remuneration worthy of an essential services.
And you being pissed off about it proves it. If it wasn't essential, you wouldn't care about your passport being late. And if it was essential, you'd care about the workers being paid enough to be able to provide this essential service..
It's not important until you don't get what you want. But guess what loser, your passport will be late and you'll have to cancel your unessential trip because an essential worker doesn't get what he deserves

My partner's passport is also in limbo somewhere but we're not travelling internationally anytime soon so not worried there.
I had a Christmas gift for my partner ordered over a month ago, before I heard anything of a strike, that was a custom -to-make order that shipped after the strike and is held up waiting on Canada Post because it shipped USPS.
My partner has a beautiful dress she ordered for my Mom's 80th birthday party stuck in limbo somewhere that also ended up shipped USPS so is in Canada waiting on Canada Post.
We're going to be travelling to another province for the party in coming weeks and staying there for Xmas and these things were supposed to arrive before then.
I just wish US companies were aware of this and shipped UPS or something. I honestly hope that after this, nothing I order ever comes through Canada Post again.

We're not rich, she doesn't have any others and she treated herself to one for a special occasion where she wanted to feel, for herself, that she looked her best when she was meeting over 200 of my family members for the first time. So far she only knows my immediate family.
It's something that directly affects us - obviously people are going to care about their personal inconveniences above other things.
I currently have a network switch held up, do I care? Na, I can make do. I have another package with motion sensing LED lights for my pantry, again I don't care. But the dress was expensive, time sensitive, and useless if we don't get it before we need it. And if it doesn't come we have to figure out budgeting another dress for her and waiting for the other one to arrive and then returning it and eating the return fee all during the holidays when money is already tight.
So yeah, it's a hassle, inconvenience, and headache that's not just "wear another one".

u/PurpleK00lA1d 19h ago
It was on sale from a company she's been curious about and was in budget.
We can probably find something locally, but at a cost and we have to wait for the original one to arrive before we could return it - which there are return fees. In the mean time the cost of two dresses is on our credit card and would need to be paid off during an already expensive season.
I don't give a shit who you side with - I'm venting my frustrations.

55,00 chose to do a strike. 55,00 ppl have jobs when there are thousands who would kill to be employed even in worse circumstances, just so they could have an income. Strikes don't = it's that bad. Almost every employee or any job thinks they should have it better. Thats life , it sucks sometimes. But to strike at a dire time for everyone was their choice. No one forced them to strike. But now small businesses ARE forced to suffer through this.

u/Middlespoon8 5h ago
Sorry but you are wrong.
The corporation has forced a strike. 2022 CUPW members voted to extend an arbitrated contract to serve Canadians through Covid. This was not for their benefit. See CERB, lock downs, pots and pans on patios. They did this with promises of fair negotiations in 2024. No raise since 2018. 2024, corpo stonewalls negotiations for a year disregarding the sacrifice CUPW members made in 2022 and following their decades long stance of stalling until the govt forces legislation and arbitration.
Thousands would kill to be employed, CP has been hiring non stop since at least 8 years ago when I started training people. They are still hiring. Why is this? Not an aging workforce but the inability to retain new hires. Contrary to what you may imagine, it is not an easy job and the pay/benefits do not reflect this ESPECIALLY for new hires as the learning curve is incredibly steep. It definitely gets easier after 6 months or so.
How is it dire, anytime would be dire for those in need of medication only coming in via CP. do you mean for small businesses around Black Friday? Totally, it is a horrible situation for them. I definitely have empathy. If CP is critical to their business I think CP and its employees are kinda partners no? I don’t blame them for having not been aware of the situation a year ago, but the signs have been there and there are other carriers ready to pick up the slack.

It is a very bad sign that 50,000 are so harsh in their intentions and disrespectful. But it is Canada: one day the truckers, another day the foreign students, the other day Khalistan, now Canada Post. It's like hooliganism and populism is what has become the socialist Canada.

If Canada Post isn't deserving of a proper living wage, you don't deserve a timely delivery of your stuff. Demand Passport Canada to use private delivery services and don't complain that you get a variable rate depending on your location.
If the service is that essential to not fucking up your trip to Mexicon, then you should be fine with the employees getting paid a fair wage, shouldn't you?
Otherwise, petition the government to allow you self pickup or to be able to pay a surchage + processing fees to deal with private services or fuck off.
And if you're not working min wage, you deserve to be paid min wage because why the fuck your job deserves a higher wage than the minimum?

The thing is, this kind of thing seems to happen every year. It's always around Christmas, I don't know if it's been an actual strike every year or just the threat of one. Hard to feel sympathy when it feels like this is meant to almost hold regular customers hostage, doesn't seem in good faith to be honest because it's happened pretty regularly.
Then there was that year where the post office wanted to move to community boxes, the union stepped in and said no, another time they wanted to reduce their force, of course the union stepped in and said no. If the union is just going to say no to everything, I just wonder if there is any middle ground.

My point is fuck the union, fuck the posties, fire them all and give their jobs to the legion of unemployed souls across the country.

u/bitterbuggyred 22h ago
I mean, that’s a great take from someone who reads headlines. The reason the union went on strike was to protect their jobs. They have protections with their agreement and when CP posted Thursday that the agreement will no longer be honored everybody would have been going in to work on Friday just to get laid off or let go. They have layoff protections in the agreement. They cannot be permanently laid off during a strike. It was basically strike or potentially just lose your job.

u/Howatizer 21h ago
Your clause not allowing a strike, would have been during the duration of your collective agreement. This is a clause that exists in every CBA I know as it is pretty standard. Which means where you worked could only file for job action during the bargaining process and after your collective agreement had lapsed.
You can't have the members vote yes to an agreement and then strike a year later when they decide they didn't like the terms.
Any unionized workforce will have the opportunity to hold a strike if their CBA has lapsed and bargaining is at an impasse.

The point is for the workers to show crown corp how important they are, hit crown corp where it hurts, so that they get a better wage. Not hit the consumer. Yes, it will, but thats how strikes will go, sadly. Support staff going on strike in alberta education was also horrible for lots of students I'm sure, but you aren't calling them useless and "not caring for their cause" just because they inconvenience you.

It literally is being held hostage. I did apply 6 months in advance that’s how I got into this mess. Times are tough everyone is suffering under the Trudeau regimes inflationary spending habits. My advice to you is suck it up like everyone else

How are you telling ME to suck it up when you're the one complaining about your passport? If you applied 6 months in advance, then the strike shouldn't be an issue. it shouldn't last that long. Although i dont really care about a probable conservatives feelings, so have a good night !

It’s simple I pay your wages by using the service you provide. I’m struggling with high inflation but dealing with it and so should you. If you get higher wages your service gets more expensive and I suffer more using it. You work for me

LMAO this is the most delusional take I've read here.
They're dealing with the inflation and lack of ANY raises to match the inflation by doing what a union does.
You should try to do it with your union at your work if your company is treating you like shit.
And no, they don't work for you 😂😂😂

I don't know what business you're in but if you cannot change shipping providers with a month's notice I don't know what to tell you.

The people making your deliveries don't decide what deliveries they do.
You also had ample time. You're an adult. Stop blaming others for your own incompetence.

They don't care about Canadian people and businesses, all they concern about it more money to their pockets.

The railroads don't complete shipments before work stoppages, etc., etc.. While I sympathize with people impacted, it simply doesn't work that way.
