Employees, with CP adding. Not the gov’t. Except for CPP.

CP had management employees relabelling the packages / mail. That’s how. CP also owns a vast majority of Purolator.

I’m sorry, Mike. You have no freaking clue here. Companies contact CP for flyer delivery. They want their stuff delivered. The CP cost is this — companies drop flyers off at dock. Each skid has a bar code. This code gets scanned as accepted. The next day, the clerks scan the same bar code as...

Cannot argue your logic. CP simply failed to adapt. Just like RIM did. CP added more management, cut the workers to the bone. CP was profitable for many, many years. That’s the only reason it’s still afloat now.

I hear what you’re saying. I’m just saying people are incredibly lazy and don’t want luxuries removed. Like seriously, why would people want to take on more responsibilities for themselves?

Can’t disagree with you here.

I hear you. I used to be in the print industry for almost 30 years. I understand how it works. As for the “Dream of their order” - this is completely at CP’s feet. The union offered rotating strikes as I mentioned earlier. CP said no. Do what we want or we lock you out. CUPW’s hand was called...

Sorry, but HAHAHAHAHA. CP makes pretty much ONE BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR from Junk Mail. For a regular sheet of paper, or post card or something inbetween CP charges $0.18. Posties get paid $0.012. CP ***NEEDS*** junk mail to make it work.

Sigh. The Gov’t DOES NOT SUBSIDIZE CP. CP is technically a Crown Corporation. We are a separate entity. There are ***ZERO*** taxpayer dollars going to fun CP. Personally, I believe, as stated earlier, that gov’t absorbtion is the way to go if people want to cry that taxes pay us. It will...

Again, the $31/hour is *AT LEAST* a 9 year journey to get there, and that’s if the stars align whilst Jupiter is ascending over Saturn on a Harvest Moon that’s somehow blue at the same time. I agree that the community mailboxes are the way to go, but you drastically underestimate how properly...

Maybe cut back the 2.75 posties per position (55K posties / in depot unionized staff vs. 22K in Desk / Management) in desk/management roles? Seriously… you have just under 3 posties per management. How does that make any financial sense? Personally, I seriously wish that the Canadian Gov’t...

You see, CP actually committed federal crimes by doing this. As soon as there is a stamp / Indicia / Bulk Mail Markers / CP parcel information on an item, it is 100% up to CP to deliver according to the Federal Mail Act (1981). CP has been illegally relabelling packages and sending via...

Awwwww... Golly gee shucks.... ☺️

You see, the thing is, we didn't have to miss Christmas completely. We originally gave strike notice - rotating strikes looked to be the order of the day. Shortly after our notice, CP said, "Fine, you go on rotating strikes, we lock you out." So, we went full strike. Sure, CUPW deserves some...

$31 is good money for sure. But again, it takes a LONG while to get there. As for not being as physically demanding, I disagree 100% with you - for the foot delivery carriers. Walking 24-32km+ a day, carrying 35 pounds of mail up and down stairs. I would reload the mail bags about 8-13 times a...

OK… a few things to consider here. CUPW have not has a raise in 6 years. We deserve a raise. We start at something like $21/hour. If you’re lucky enough to stay in 1 staff grouping for your entire time at CP, you can make up to $31/hour after 7 years… Your wages do not move whatsoever until you...

Then everyone in outlying communities no longer has access to mail services, unless courier companies drastically expand their services - which would also be at astronomical costs. If a company with an established mail system purchases CP (i.e. DHL), they may be able to make a go of it. TBH...

Or do as the Republicans in the USA… or as the Nazi propaganda specialists… Repeat a lie enough times it eventually becomes the truth for many people.

CP does have the public eye, as it’s on the news nearly every night. They talk about how much hurt is being put onto small businesses. How it’s CP’s fault… Then dig deeper. CP puts all this stuff on the news about how terrible CUPW is. We have people honking all the time as they drive past the...

DHL wanted to buy CP 11 years ago.. they looked at the books and structure and nope’d out.
