"fuck my Canucks jersey is not gonna get here!  "
then I remembered
"Oh ya, I shipped with Purolator"

the lockout isn't over yet. the house will discuss this starting tomorrow, and if it all goes well they will vote on it most likely on thursday. but with the NDP strongly opposed to legislation it may take longer. but im hoping the union and CPC can hammer out something as a contract forced upon by the government would not be a good thing imo

Unions, gotta love 'em. They seem to always grow so large and powerful, that they become as bad/worse then the greedy owners/corporations they were created to protect honest people against.

I'm sure your wages are better than the norm or equal, and have many good benefits. As an employee of Canada post, you are in alot better position than alot of people that have jobs that are not as well paying. You guys really should be happy that you have such a great job.
I used to be part of a union, and its really not much help if they try to pinch every last penny out of the company when they really don't have any more money.
I on the other hand am self employed and have no benefits or pension, work long hours and such. I am still greatful that I have this opportunity to work for myself. I would be even happier to work for Canada post delivering mail with next to no education. http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories...lation-110620/
take a look at that link and look at all the comments below. pretty much everyone wants you guys to get back to work. its not just me.

stop failing me, i'm not anti union or anti postie.
I'm just stating the facts.
It is that easy, next union meeting/update why don't you take the initiative and talk to one of the union stewards? put a notion forth to vote to get back to work? or take the appropriate steps to?
In the area that I work, I see posties on break at the A&W and over heard them say how they've finished their run, and its only 11am. What should we do for the next few hours? Grab some beers etc etc.....
If I was one of those postal workers, I wonder how my life would be......
I know you guys are locked out and can't get back to work. But get the union to stop wasting time. Even though Canada Post work stoppage is not affecting me, but millions of small businesses and people depend on the services you provide.

As much as I hate the strike, you need to take a look at the bigger picture. The union represents ALL employees of Canada Post.
They've been discussing contracts for several months now have failed to settle on an agreement.
I think the easiest way to end this strike, is to wait for the Parliament to end the Air Canada and Canada post disputes.

90% owned by Canada Post 
but yeah havent gotten my packages yet
maybe they're just overloaded with work now (read that they were expecting over 20% increase)
edit:
so decided to contact them... for some reason they sent the package out canada post ground instead of purolator.... wtf
oh well its almost over now i guess..

I am now working for the census and I'm basically working double the time for the same number of cases because now I am going back to the households I have visited to collect the form - all because they can't send them....

^^^ sounds like the Union and CP still couldn't come to an agreement so this will now be handled by Parliment. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/hundreds-un...142338126.html
They should be back to work sometime next week.
Damn I have 3 packages stuck in transit for over 2 weeks now... they better get back to work next week and clear all the backlog.
