Postal Srike in Canada

[chappy]

Hi everyone.
I just thought to pass this on in the event anyone is looking to post to or from Canada.
Canada Post Corporation has given 72 hr notice that it will lock out its employees as of this Friday.
The posties themselves have not called a strike, but the Lock out will of course stop all postal services.
I will advise of further updates hoping to prevent you from getting caught up in this mess.
Regards
Bob

"Lock out employees" ??

What are the issues ? TY

Pension and gender equality of pay.
Which amazes me with our new governments policies.
However, the Canada Post is not a government agency per se.
It is a Crown Corporation .

It's management was put in place by previous governments, and they still are very conservative in their thinking. "Any union must be bad, eh?"

"Any union must be bad, eh?"

Morons. When will we be rid of these dinosaurs? My sympathies, Canadians. Gender equality and a proper pension are hardly heavy requests. Both should have been the rule for decades. I'm so sorry.

Yep your right Rob , dinosaur thinking .
Hopefully the Feds will do something about this type of stuff.

Bob - I'll see if Dennis can hang on to the T/A's a little while longer.

Sounds good David.
The lock out date has been moved to Monday now.
I will keep you posted
Bob
