CPC has to release public information, perhaps you should read your own employer's annual reports: http://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/abou...d=murl07001020 Quote:

CPC has been making investments in automation and wants to reduce the workforce through attrition. That seems like solid credible information. Where's your information? Union BS? Quote:

Revenues are not down, volumes are not down | From the annual report: Quote: |
Volumes declined in all three lines of business: (4.2)% in Transaction Mail, (6.9)% in Parcels and (10.9)% in Direct Marketing
| You're essentially saying what CPC releases publicly is fraudulent. I think I'll trust the CPC on this, if the annual report was fraudulent people would go to jail. Quote:

Originally Posted by Super Dipper You are entitled to your opinion and i can respect that, but dont tell me that a 3% raise over 4 years is unreasonable when cost of living and inflation continues to rise and its becoming harder and harder to make ends meet. | Increases are reasonable if revenue and profit are making the same increases. In fact more than inflationary increases are reasonable if the company is doing well.
CPC is not doing well. Revenues are DOWN and if you bother reading and understanding the annual report, you'll find the only reason the numbers aren't worse is due to some creative accounting.
CPC currently owes the pension fund $3.2B - where do you think that money is going to come from? They have been behind on payments cause of shrinking revenue. So either you can decide to deal with it now with concessions, or deal with it down the road when the pension is owed even more and there's not enough left for you.

Just throwing that out there. | Absolutely. BC teachers are in the same place, lots of teachers looking for work and would take jobs paying less - meanwhile BC teachers with jobs want more and more $$$. Without the union we could hire more teachers at less $$$ and reduce classroom sizes and prevent school closures...
Same applies to CPC. Without the union protecting employee salaries, CPC could hire more employees for less $$$ and deal with one of your complaints: that mail carriers are overloaded.
I'm not just throwing that out there, that's how market economies work when unions don't stifle them.

The link is the for 2009 report released in spring 2010. So it is one year old. It is also verified by a credibly company, KPMG, which should shutup the idiots who say the numbers are wrong then cannot provide correct numbers.
If you want to criticize, ask why the 2010 report is over a month late. Is CPC hiding something to help negotiations? and why must I do your homework.

im not saying that's what canada post is doing, i don't really care at all about this aside from the inconvenience of mail just pointing out the 'go to jail' part is very very very rare that's why it's a big news story when someone actually does go to jail

Who would go to jail? The whole corporation?
They would get a fine.
A corporation is a legal entity that is created under the laws of a state designed to establish the entity as a separate legal entity having its own privileges and liabilities distinct from those of its members

I do have to agree with some of the unions thinking that People should be fighting for what the unions have. better paying, more secured jobs with benefits.
Honestly the private sector is fucking people up the ass. The gap between the rich and the poor is ever increasing, and the middle class is starting to get smaller and smaller.
Now I do think that some of the perks these unionized jobs have are without merit, but a lot of private companies just fuck over their employees, and keep using the "we need to cut costs, be competitive propoganda". Governments can force companies to be more competitive by reducing barriers to entries and elminate monopolies/cartels.
CEO and executives make millions if they can increase profit, and the easiest way is to cut down costs - ie. labour. These executives dont give a shiet about their employees, but will all say the number asset to their company is "their employees"
The government, as well as private companies never reinvest to enhance productivity.
We should be doing what countries like Sweden, Norway and Finland do. Countries that have 100% literacy rate, super high productivity, Invest heavily into Human Capital. and better social programs where people dont abuse the system (as much as they do in North America).
Right now, Canada has one of the lowest productivity rates among western countries, and the only way we seem to be able to increase that is by increasing our hours worked.

Wait, so can Canada post lock them out?
And if they do, they'll just hire people privately right? And our mail will still come?

The city try to hire some private company to do the job and those private hire got beat up, their truck smash by those people who is on strike.
