Hey I'm all for sticking it to the man, but I think the Canada Postal Workers Union better start thinking about bigger picture here. I'm all for benefits, fairness and whatever else, but I'm not sure the org as a whole could survive another strike. I've had it to here with Canada Post and their continual issues. Whoever is to blame, get it figured out, or you can seriously fuck off. Both sides honestly.
There is an easy solution: pay them fairly and give them fair working conditions. That would guarantee that no strike happens.
The corporation has chosen to lose far more money than if they had just given them their reasonable demands. Blame the fat cats at the top, not the thousands of working class people trying to get their fair bit. The fact that it's disruptive is all the more reason why they should just give them fair wages and solve the problem. But instead they don't even show up to the bargaining table.
I'm not blaming anyone. I'm blaming two sides that can't get this over the line. Someone has to figure it out somewhere. Union can keep pointing at the corporation (which may be valid), but then at some point the corp will fail, and then who wins?
Someone, somewhere, needs to compromise on something. This I think we can agree on.
If you are blaming workers and also the other side, you are blaming workers.
I'm blaming everybody involved.
Smarten up.
Anyone - any one specific party
Everybody - all involved
Is this basic enough for you to understand?
