Another Canada Post strike
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
I may be wrong, but I believe each Canadian bank sets an e-transfer limit that applies to all its clients.
If there are exceptions for high net-worth individual or business clients I'm not aware of that...
Far from over. The government won't force the union to vote on Canada Post's "Final Offer" from last week, and won't force Canada Post to agree to the union's request for "fair and binding arbitration".
So I think a full-blown strike is inevitable, and the government won't do anything to stop it, except perhaps to allow a full strike to run for 4 or more weeks, and then force the workers back to work again for another few months or so.
Taking us back to the same stalemate.
In other words, kicking the can down the road...
Last time I ordered some USB sticks, the tracking showed they came to Canada and then they disappeared. Pieces of shit
Today I used UPS to send a 9" by 12" envelope to Winnipeg, totalling less than 200 grams.
The Canada Post cost would have been $4.29 plus GST. The lowest cost option from UPS was $36.10 plus GST.
Speed was not of the essence , but assurance of a reasonable delivery time was, and I couldn't allow it to be lost by Canada Post in the current turmoil.
So I ate the extra cost. As I have said before, for individuals, especially seniors, Canada Post is essential, in terms of convenience, reasonable service, and much lower cost than courier services.
Let's hope the situation resolves soon...

I would think Canada Post would lock them out in the near future if they can't get a deal. Time's a wasting and if they want to break them before the holidays they need to do it now.
not that there's anything wrong with that given the current state of Canada's economy and unemployment rate...
''you either adapt and grow or you wither and die'' is a truism which is independent of current economic conditionsnot that there's anything wrong with that given the current state of Canada's economy and unemployment rate...
Not sure why postal carriers are complaining one of my neighbours is an employee of Canada Post he comes home with the company truck 3-4 times a day stays home for 1-2 hrs then heads back to work.
If you ask me they have it easy and I’m sure they all steal time. But the government does not see that.
I’d say pull a Reggain fire them all get ride of the union and hire them back with less pay and give them enought work for 8hrs. Or contract it all. The City of Toronto did it with garbage collection and they are doing a better job.

Toronto garbage didn't save any money, all it did was take good paying jobs and replace them with worse paying jobs.
Way to take it to the people.
