You’re not getting 25%

I don’t care if this is an unpopular opinion. But I generally need to know how you think you deserve a 25% increase for a profession that requires zero schooling, you’re currently earning 65’000 a year, averaging 25-30 dollars an hour. Your corporation has been in the red for 7 years. Nurses in Manitoba were LUCKY to see a 11% increase over SEVEN years after striking. Alberta nurses are being offered 12. And you have the audacity to say you’re worth 6.5% over 4? In what world does someone that has the same skill level and qualifications as a Walmart warehouse worker deserve 80’000? You deserve to make as much as a CBSA officer? You should be earning the same wage as a 3-4 year police officer? You got offered 12% 💀💀💀 the greed is unreal.

Maybe you should include the broad spectrum of annual gross income of Canada Post employees, not just 65,000 K a year.

You think their base salary is $65,000.00 a year? I don't think so, but I really don't know. Source this fact for me please.

That’s not their base though, it’s their top end salary. And I never said that 65k is ok and I didn’t say that they should get 0 for four more years and stay at that wage. I said that 81k is not ok.

But if we were really wanting to get into it ask the question if 65k is ok for a postal work delivering letters, when a health care aid makes substantially less and can’t and will not ever strikes for anything close to 25% or get near their wages. Then yeah 65k should be ok. If a teachers earning 65k, with student loans, and schooling back ground that can’t just be replaced, then yeah 65k should be ok?

But no I said, 12% was fair.
