Canada Post - Huge losses

Like most in town I go to the PO to pick up mail. Once a week is fine.

How much could be saved by eliminating door to door and only delivery 3x per week. A lot of posties would be looking for work.

Weekly delivery would be fine for 99 percent of people. Most important mail is electronic now after the last few strikes forced businesses to find a better way. Actually can't think of much of anything that needs mailed anymore. They also do a terrible job at packages and are more expensive, if I ship by courier they will make multiple delivery attempts before asking you to pick up. Which is way better than zero attempts and a card. IMHO the union has made cp irrelevant unfortunately.

I think they tried to eliminate all door to door deliveries years ago and the government (can't think of which one) stopped this process midway through the change due to union opposition about job losses. Here in Orangeville there are streets where some continue to get door to door delivery, while neighbours a few houses away are now using super boxes.

If they want to retain some door to door then drop the delivery to one or two days a week. This should include super box deliveries as well. However, there is no way the current NDP propped up Liberals would ever support this change, so I'm not holding my breath on this one.

I believe the current offer made by CP sounded pretty good. There was a good pay increase, job security was included and the defined benefit pension plan will continue. I don't think some of the union members realize just how valuable that last one will be to them in the future.
 
After union issued strike notice, management issued lock out notice. It's hard to tell who will pull the trigger but a work stoppage is highly likely.

If they go on strike I might not even notice.
I wish more management would have the balls of Ronny Raygun when he dealt with ATCs all those years ago.

It's common, if we strike they lock us out. We gave notice first.

Same here in daHood (Scarborough) I have door to door but any new builds have superboxes.
