DHL has locked out its workers on a contract dispute.
Canada Post - Huge losses
- Thread starter raginduck
- Start date
A strike won't happen that suddenly... I think you'll be fine if you send it asap.
The replacements are already working there though there should be no disruption to DHL service

Union asked government for help to get a resolution. Government said fine, your members have to vote on the offer. I bet union heads exploded. They wanted concessions, not to be made irrelevant.

Thanks to the feds, not any more. New anti-scab legislation kicks in on Friday so they're shutting down.

Who wouldn't like a 22% to 42% raise? It doesn't say if this is per year or over a few years. In any event, this issue might just end DHL Express operations in Canada. All those customers the Union says depend on their service will be looking elsewhere to ship their products. I expect the union members will be on the picket line for a very long time if they don't lower their request.Thanks to the feds, not any more.

The union brass will make out fine. It's the workers that suffer.

I agree.
Canadian labour laws should be updated to make it mandatory that offers are put to the union for voting.
For too long unions have had too much power over their members - often leading them over the cliff like lemmings.

So a month after government forced a vote, they are gathering names to compile a voters list? Sounds like CIRB is also ripe for a grenade. Lots of words, no actions.
Tell the union they have seven days to get a vote done or they will be decertified. The union has no problem with much shorter timelines on a negotiated settlement.
