The union representing Canada Post workers says the Crown corporation has been laying off striking employees as the labour action by more than 55,000 workers approaches the two-week mark.

    This sounds illegal… Also kinda pointless since they aren’t paying the workers while they’re on strike.

      It might shake a few votes loose when it comes to a union vote on a contract.

      They are sending a message… From their perspective, clearly not pointless, they wouldn’t do it otherwise.

    “About 55,000 ROE were sent to Service Canada but not to individual members due to the current lack of mail delivery” lmao

      I’m pretty sure they’re legally required to send that to the employees — which means couriers.

        As long as sevrvice Canada receives it, the employee only needs to be verbally informed.

    Who’s going to buy Canada Post? Amazon, Fedex or UPS?
