My read on the issue is that CP doesn’t need to be profitable, it just needs to lose less money than it currently is losing. One way to do that is to increase share of parcel deliveries, but that requires a business model that the union would (rightly) not be happy with. Real shit situation

There running a service like a shitty private corporation where the only path they see to success is not expansion or improving services, but cuts, cuts to jobs, quality and the service itself, for what? Who benefits from a hallowed out Canada Post when it could be so much more for canadians.

How much are they paid? What are their benefits?

The starting wage is a few $ more than min wage, if you get more than 1000hr a year you get a raise. You don’t get any more hrs after 950, weird how that works? Benefits are if you’re permanent and after a certain length of time. Not much is covered, horrible plan

When big tech says "disrupt", what they most often mean is "break". Canada needs to build ways to disconnect from global oligarchic corporations like Amazon before it's too late.

Only if you insist it has to turn a profit, which an essential service people depend on for their meds amongst other things should never have to. We spend much more to maintain unpopular private industry that would not stand to the markets otherwise and only profit very few Canadians, if any.

Check out the union's plan to reinvent Canada post. Great video indeed www.deliveringcommunitypower.ca/our_plan

Having government mandate and budget Canada Post to build server farms / host cloud solutions for national businesses - in addition to their existing role.

ok but we are all boycotting USA things like amazon right? right?
