Not my job to do that. That's a supervisor's position. The postie is taking a huge risk of unemployment by doing this. Some depots are much more rigid than others. My depot gives a 1 week long suspension on the spot, and if it happens again you're out the door.

Easy Peasy. You deliver parcels. One route is heavier than another, you get some of it. No biggie. You drive a little more and done deal. Now consider letter mail. You’re walking around on foot. Let’s say you have a heavier day. You’re hitting 2/3 houses. Then you hit a section of another route...

The only posties that “choose” their routes daily are “Relief Letter Carriers” and “Casuals” (if they get called). If a regular route owner needs to take time off or call in sick, their route or part of it goes up on a staffing board. The relief and casuals choose from the board according to...

Not allowed unless you’re on a medical disability plan at Canada Post. All about the “Sanctity and Security of the Mail.” - Basically, if you leave the cart on the sidewalk and deliver mail to a house, you’re opening yourself up to be fired due to “abandoning the mail.” With all the crap going...

Again, it works for PARCELS. NOT for mail.

Hello Everyone! Would anyone here be interested in an open track day at Grand Bend later in August? No groups - go on track when you wish, leave track whenever you wish. Maximum 25 riders. *YELLOW/INTERMEDIATE and RED group riders ONLY* Price would be $180 per person. This is not set in...

SSD was being implemented - the second restructuring in under 2 years (at a cost of about $250,000 per restructure) but then was cancelled due to CUPW pushback. Guelph already has top 5% overtime hours in all of Canada due to their last restructuring - routes made longer due to others being cut...

Standard practice? Seriously? It shows how little you know of the postal system. Yes, it is standard for parcel delivery companies like UPS, Purolator etc. Making it work for door-to-door delivery is another issue completely. The manual Sortation of mail will be a mess - your sorting cases...

Find something else to add in... renter's insurance or room insurance.. something like that.

I always tell my students to get the email addresses of 10 different agents and brokers from different companies. Write up an email. Include everything that will be insured - house, car, bike, snowmobile, trailer, whatever. House - include if it’s paid or not, when roof, furnace, a/c was...

Wild is an understatement… I don’t think I’ve EVER seen a race to accomplish that amount of ********* ever before….

Yeah bud.. it's me... Haven't been on GTAM for a while... sorry!

Genuine question... did you read the actual offer and more importantly, did you understand it? Dymamic routing - it's something that CP is refusing to budge on. Basically, they want to adjust route lengths on a daily basis. If it's a light day, you may end up walking 30km, and people at the...

So… CP has rejected CUPW’s offer of postponing the strike. They want CUPW to accept it as is, without proper scrutineering. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/canada-post-rejects-union-s-offer-to-delay-potential-strike/ar-AA1FdQds?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=fc1dd4c754b04871974b6cc6bcbf2909&ei=68

Last I heard, it hasn't been delivered yet. Could have been during my commute home (started at 4am). CUPW offered to suspend strike action for at least 2 weeks pending CP sending an offer in today. Me, I've only got 4 years, 7 months seniority. I'll be one of the first ones out the door if CP...

Technically, it's the same strike. We were forced back to work with the gov't mandate ending on the 22nd. As for being slimy, CP has walked away from the table 3x. Leaving CUPW sitting there for hours on end wondering if CP was coming back. They didn't. CP has also broken the CBA (was...

Actually, from what I understand, CUPW offered up weekend assignments for regular posties making non-overtime wages. Volunteer position. After that, it goes to casual workers who are desperate for hours…

Read the link supplied by TwistedKestrel with AN OPEN MIND. It seems to me you've gone down the far right misinformation pipeline and have swallowed it whole. The main docs being interviewed are basically Q-Anon - Ivermectin cures Covid! Absolutely piles of horse poop. I know, sometimes...

So far it's a bit more interesting than MotoGP this year!

So, for anyone who streams using ServusTV, I ran into a new predicament for the first time today…. They’ve changed their coding somehow or another - if you’re using an Apple product, you cannot cast the stream to another device (TV, AppleTV etc). Tried it with the iPad and with the desktop...
