For an actual answer, the union is demanding basic needs be met, like a minimum 20 hour workweek guarantee, cost of living adjustments, cutting down on exploitive contract labour policies, and Canada post execs want to cut labour hours while increasing the number of days open, delivery hours, and overall increasing the stress and workload for staff without increasing compensation.
I had a friend who was hired there 2 years ago as an on-call employee, with the promise that he’d be able to be moved up to full time regular at some point. He has to be available full time through the week, but only gets 1 or 2 shifts a week and is still waiting to get full time hours. He’s had to keep working in a kitchen on the weekends to support himself, but cant work through the week in case he gets called in for mail delivery. Its actual so unreasonable.

Wow. It needs to be law that if you’re on call you need to be getting paid at least 80% of your regular rate.
