In a memo to its 55,000 members, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers blasted the company’s previous offers and said it met face-to-face earlier in the day with company negotiators and issued a broad new contract proposal.
Probably the first article in a while that clearly outlines WHERE the negations are at and what each side wants.
I don’t want some idiot losing my package. I like Canada posts because it rarely fucks up my delivery - today i have to go far, far out of my way to pick up a purolater package containing medication because the purolater delivery person’s brain turns to mush whenever they need to deliver a package to an apartment building.
The Canada Post delivery person who usually delivers to my area has never had that problem, he and he alone apparently has the ability to make it to the 2nd floor where my apartment is located. FedEx/Puralater/UPS have never succeeded when tasked with the same thing, i always end up having to go to a depot across town to pick it up myself with them.
I have had Canada post delivery issues as well, particularly in the past they would just dash a pickup notice to my door INSTEAD of knocking or ringing a door bell for packages… I was CONSTANTLY going to the post office to pick things up that I WAS home for and could have received if they had rang the door bell or knocked even. It really comes down to the individual.
Everyone should be paid fairly but from the info so far I am not convinced the union demands are resonable in this case other than maybe the mat leave request.
