As some one who goes down town to the Post Office to get my mail I simply don't care how they feel.
Canada Post - Huge losses
- Thread starter raginduck
- Start date
That is an interesting point. If residents and municipalities want to be bitchy about superboxes, I don't think there is any requirement about how close CP needs deliver at all. CP could buy an industrial unit in the bad/cheap part of each town and put tens of thousands of boxes inside the unit. Cameras for safety/security, protected from weather, mail delivered to a box for each address as required.
Open m-f 9am to 3 pm like to post office was where I used to have to go to get my mail. Superboxes were a huge improvement.

Just build the boxes without saying anything.. pick a date. and put a letter in their home box that says "starting tomorrow go here to get your mail and put any complaints in writing and leave them in your home box"

They don’t have to deliver to every address, just close. Installing Super mailboxes in Forest Hill and the other 5 million homes that get a daily handy from CPC fixes everything.

Ok, charge them $10/week. See how many would be in love with that!
Does that mean they will be working the full shifts.. or finishing their set work load and just sitting around the depot dong nothing til it's home time?

So like the real world. If our installers return to the shop early they can go home without pay or pick up a broom.
As far as I can tell they don't have their work tracked via handheld devices. Dunno about that!
Work at the depot, more work out in the field or 'punch out'. That's the gist I got.
Management: Why are our taxi/mileage bills so much higher?
Postie: I was driving around to ensure the boxes were free of snow as I had time at the end of my shift.
Driving around isn't really possible. Not only do vehicles and your hand held have GPS, but your efficiency is tracked. Don't forget CP is really more park the vehicle and walk.
I suspect that the people who were going home will just slow down and take all day to deliver.
I haven't had mail delivered to my super box in over a week. My father, who lives 5 streets away has been getting his mail delivered to his super box ever day. There is a bit more snow around my super box and it is a 25 foot walk from the nearest driveway to even get to it. Could that be the reason why no one has dropped off any mail?
Yes it's up to the courier to decide if it's safe or not. Technically they have right to refuse delivery to any property where snow has not been cleared.
I don't check the mail often. Our superboxes are on a vacant lot with a small parking area. I was definitely the lowest thing that has been in there as my car was a plow. Lots of mail. Less junk than pre-strike. Probably 20% of the flyers. I'm not sure if that was all from before the recent storms or if the postie pounded the van in to get the job done.

100% we are tracked by our ID card scan-in when we enter the depot, then when we log in to our PDT, and again when we log out. This is one of the things that CP is pointing their fingers at in the negotiations.
They refuse to believe that letter carriers are NOT taking their breaks during the day (2x10, 1x30) and are applying them to the end of the day so we can go home that little bit earlier.
Proper procedure would be to get your PDT as soon as you walk in the door and sign into it. Do your route. Come back. Collate all your junk mail and then sign out. Most posties sign out of the PDT when they return to the office and not when they leave. My CUPW local is trying to get us to do this.
