If the CIRB agrees, MacKinnon says the labour relations board would order Canada Post and all employees represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers to resume operations and extend the terms of the existing collective agreements until May 2025.
“Not only have the parties been unable to show any progress towards an agreement, the federal mediator has now informed me that the negotiations between both parties are now, in fact, going in the wrong direction,” he said during a Friday media conference.
That’s what happens when one side is pretty damn reasonable (IMO) and the other are greedy management cunts.
Greedy management cunts who can rest pretty safely knowing that the Liberal government will 100% have their back and pass return to work legislation.
Something almost never brought up in these articles is that while the union didn’t commit to a rotating strike like they did in the past, Canadapost made that decision for them by locking them out.
So if people want to point the finger as to why things went full stop they should be looking at the management for that as well.
Ze peasants must work!
This is the point where every postal worker should just simultaneously hand in their resignation and let the senior managers and the governement burn. It would be years to train up enough new staff to cover if starting from scratch, and if conditions are as bad as the union says, they have little to lose.
Or a good time for a general strike.
General strikes are “organized” through social media constantly, but they never actually happen, because people are still not prepared for the type of struggle it brings yet.
Ontario was really close to one. Doug blinked.
