message to posties

If last night's media reports remotely reflect reality, there are a lot of unhappy workers at Canada Post. They seem not to like their jobs, their supervisors or their working conditions. At once postal station, they so resented their managers returning to work to prepare for their arrival that they physically blocked access, no doubt so they could sit and do nothing for the evening shift as supervisors checked equipment and prepared a plan to clear the backlog of mail.

My advice to these postal workers, if your job is so terrible and the working conditions so poor, QUIT!

The hundreds of thousands of Canadians who switched on e-mail and on-line billing during your strike will not miss you. Canada Post accountants trying to balance the budget with millions in revenue lost from customers departed and never to return will not miss you. Human resources will not be stressed recruiting replacements

You have our best wishes. Good luck with finding another unskilled job paying $25 hour + benefits and pension.
