It’s clear that Canada Post is out of touch with the workers of this country. A Canada Post spokesperson said earlier in the strike that young people don’t want full-time work; that they all want “flexibility.”

Thank you so much for this, didn’t know where to get the unions side of things.

I was getting the impression management wanted to compete with the Amazon curriers but I didn’t expect this.

The union has every right to fight this, and I hope they win. At the same time I hope that they do find a middle ground with the 7-day delivery. While I don’t want/need it, the general population does expect 7 day/week delivery like everyone else does. Even if it’s only a limited service I feel it’s something they can negotiate with. (Not that it means much based on their article)

Who the heck wants a permanent part-time job? Outside of maybe a retiree?

Depending on your seniority and the flexibility of the hours you can bid, 20 hours a week plus benefits would be phenomenal. Of course this only works if you can balance it out with the rest of your personal life, so your mileage may vary.

I could see that being enough to live off if you already paid off a mortgage or have low rent from being there a long time, or have a partner working as well.

I'd be willing to become a permanent part-timer if if meant I could sit around and funnel 100% of the money coming in to fund the union😆
