Instead of blaming canada post for opening your parcel, did you ever think that Canada Custom opened it?? Quote:

So will there actually be a strike?
motherfuckers were suppose to deliver my package on Friday but didn't... I really need it, and if I don't get it Tuesday I'll go bat-ape-shit.

Union didn't offer any concessions, and CPC wants concessions based on business loses and pension promises. This is probably going to get ugly.

Still not settled cause the union is not offering any concessions, in fact they want a fucking raise above inflation, dumbasses. Expect a strike out lockout soon as the sides seem very far apart.

With online statements and billing the mail service is a dinosaur anyway, anything that needs to get shipped can be done by courier. Pretty much everybody has online billing now a days so no need to ship statements. Email has all but replaced the letter. Here's to hoping they strike till next summer just to point home how unimportant and archaic the mail service is in this day and age.

Mail is still important, there's just less important mail to send. Declining mail == declining revenue == employee concessions or layoffs. It is too bad the union cannot see the forest for its trees.

This just in:
Canada Post received notice that the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) intends to begin strike activities at 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 2, 2011.
Despite this development, talks between the company and union are continuing in an effort to reach a negotiated settlement to this round of labour negotiations.

CPC has continuously been making a profit for several years. They have been doing so well, they have been giving out a team bonus annually to all of their employees for the past 3 years.
CPC may claim that revenues and volumes are down, but letter carrier station are packed full of mail that we are unable to move at the speed mgmt wants us too, bc we do not have enough carriers to get the mail out.
parcel volumes have skyrocketed with e-commerce. We are still the cheapest ways to ship the products you purchase on the net and bc of that, businesses continually use as their main shipping provider.
Revenues are not down, volumes are not down, you can continue to believe and read what you want, but unless you work within the company, you dont have a clue what is going on. Keep reading the BS that you want to read and believe what you want. 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.
anyways, im gonna leave it at that. Im in vegas on vacation, there is much tail to chase and booze to drink. Im gonna continue to do that. Ill deal with work and the strike when i get back from my holidays.

3% raise over 4 years is reasonable. However, with most strikes, the union faces the most backlash from the public and not the company.
It might suck not getting a pay raise, but there are tons of people willing to do your job for much less.

Just throwing that out there.
