KTM declining fortunes have also affected MV Agusta's employees in Italy. MV Agusta's union and management agreed in solidarity to measures that will keep the company going, it included a 20 per cent paycut across the board.
This is how unions need to interact with management when their lives are on the line.
When you are faced with excess inventory and pay cuts, throwing some product at the employees with a 12 month no sale clause would be a good approach imo. Keep employees excited about the brand and gets some stale inventory off the books.
Even without the paycuts, bmw offered their stinkers to employees for a song to clear them out. They did it with the 650cs, I'm not sure if they have done it with other models.
So, after 5 weeks on strike the first mail I get is a Region of Peel PSA telling me not to dispose of old batteries incorrectly. I guess CP's key goal here is to focus on new revenue generating ads vs. already paid for letter mail.
I find it hard to believe that it should take 5 weeks to recover from a 5 week strike. Yes, there is a parcel backlog, but how much is this and we also know that many customers found other providers and will not be returning to CP, in particular as there may be further work disruptions. What ads are still in the system that need to be delivered. If you had a sale ad running Dec 1 - 10 then this is an obsolete ad and should be scrapped, not delivered. Also, given xmas is just about a week away what business would have had ads planned, printed and ready for delivery given the abrupt nature of the back to work ruling?

There aren't 5 weeks of mail & packages backed up in the system. No new domestic mail or packages have been inducted into the system since the strike started so there will be a day of backlog, junk mail has scheduled drops, so no backlog there. Inbound foreign mail will have a huge backlog, and there may be a small surge in domestic mail as people get back to using mail.
That said, back to work orders don't always bring out the best in productivity, and restarting an idle operation will contribute to delays for a couple of weeks.

I haven't heard of official orders but I'd be surprised if CUPW was allowing their members to do much overtime given the circumstances. Stick to the minimum required under the contract forced on them.

Finally got a package out of Purolator purgatory. They ship from main distro to local distro and then leave them in the trailers until they get to them. Normally process 400K packages a night in barrie. Running at 1.5M/night recently. Puro tracking sucks and shows up as "missed connection" as it scanned out of main distro but never scanned in when it got to barrie. That was an epic fail by puro PR. Instead of missed connection, they should have tracking that shows something like "On-site waiting to enter distribution centre". In my case it arrived to Barrie Dec 13 at 00:30 and put on a truck for delivery around noon Dec 21. Entire time tracking was not updating and just showing missed connection.

Years ago I did a bunch of work with FedEx,CPC and UPS. I learned that management changes priorities based on delivery dates, the first thing to go is tracking, it’s easier to keep you in the dark than have scan tell you it’s been on dwelll for a week.

My depot has not delivered expired junk mail. We had to remove it all from our pre-assembled bundles of junk mail. Takes a while to do that.
Stuff without specific dates has been delivered as per the norm.
The junk mail you got falls into the non-date-specific area.
I’ve been delivering a whack of mail and parcels. Admittedly, Friday was a huge pain in my ass… 38,500 steps taken. I would say 75% of houses had 1 piece of actual mail. CP build routes on a 33% coverage model, which simply doesn’t work, as 1/3 of your route is 100% coverage (minus opt-outs) for junk mail.
In Guelph, we have been told that overtime is not an option. Period. Full stop. This is against the collective bargaining agreement extended by the CIRB. All workers in my depot have asked for overtime approval, simply to be denied verbally. They refuse to put anything in writing. So, this is simply a strong arm power play by the management to reduce pay output.

You see, that’s the problem.
CP has had a massive blitz on the news etc saying that it will take weeks to clear the backlog…
The posties are willing to work overtime to help clear the back log. CP is categorically denying overtime.
MANY posties suffered financially during the strike - we won’t get a paycheque until middle of January at the earliest (not including the $56/day strike pay IF you attended the line). Several I know needed to make alternate arrangements with their banks so as not to default on their mortgages.
Yes, there are some who are much more vocal than others, but they tend to have higher seniority making the top of the pay scale ($31/hour —which takes 10-13 years on average).
