This thread is amusing if nothing else. I don't think I've ever seen as many sockpuppets in one place before.
Enjoy the Remembrance Day carryover. If you have any elderly relatives whose parents were connected to WWII, show them some deference. That generation went through more than we ever will. Remember that many CP employees back in the 40s and 50s were ex-soldiers. Which makes sense kinda - who else could stomach this crap?

There's a notification in Infopost saying that it will be released on Monday evening instead.
I suppose new T&C the strike gives the payroll system some challenges...

I don't get this. I can't see any supervisors in our depot not freaking out if you were to come back in 5 hours with bunch of undelivered mail. The strategy / necessity of delivering flyer portion first and making sure all PCI's are done + bringing back rest of mail, only works if you are clocking in 8 hours. Very early finishes as you describe them, make no sense at all. Unless you are getting help from staffing, and having your parcels/parts of your routes covered by reliefs, like some of us do...Hugh Jass wrote: ↑Nov 11th, 2018 7:08 pmSince rotating strikes started, our depot has been told to do exactly what you said.

What would everyone think if CP actually went with a gameplan like this moving forward? Perhaps do flyer section and one other, leaving one behind each day, so customers would get mail 2 days out of three. They'd probably have to do businesses daily but that would be easily sorted in restructures. It would ease the over burdening issue, incl a lot of unnecessary overtime. No jobs would be lost, which would please the union. Also leaves a lot of room for future parcel growth.

I can attest to this. I was doing OT on a walk for months, partially because it was a crappy walk and partially I just wanted to prove a point how crappy it was. It wasn't worth it, in terms of decreased family life etc, although you can always transfer your OT pay into comp pay and take the occasional days of during the week.

If you're a term and get a call to work while there is a strike, do you get paid since they called you? Obviously not crossing no picket line to actually work.

Its going to happen eventually but I wouldn't encourage it. Its a slippery slope and once they see the public is OK with not getting mail everyday who knows where they would go with it.Hugh Jass wrote: ↑Nov 11th, 2018 7:08 pmSince rotating strikes started, our depot has been told to do exactly what you said.

Shockingly, there is no movement. Only hope now is legislation that favors the workers. Of course, the liberals talk the talk, but can they walk the walk?

No surprise, the beatniks once again cannot negotiate a collective deal without government help. When will the CUPW sheep learn how utterly useless they are except for the ****.timetotellthetruth wrote: ↑Nov 12th, 2018 9:54 amhttps://www.cupw.ca/en/mediator’s-manda ... on-expires

I guess the union has been unsuccessful their round of negotiations. Last time they got us heavier flyers at lower pay. That was quite the win the the Corrupt union.
What will letter carriers win this time.
