CUPW has announced an immediate strike, and postal workers are currently walking off the job.

The minister of public works, Joel Lightbound, has announced his intentions to implement all of the recommedations laid out in the Kaplan report, including permanently ending door-to-door delivery and the requirement to deliver mail 5 days a week.

Not sure how he expected labour to respond to 1/3 of the workforce being made redundant.

    I would say buyout purelator and start a nationalised Amazon competitor.

    Canada Post started it and them immediately sold it to Deloitte.

    Mail has changed which is true, before physical mail funded the whole thing, now things need to be changed.

    I don’t get why we can’t have a system where if you receive CPP or disability payments or something else, you can register with Canada Post to have home delivery but others don’t get it or pay to have it?
