Unless CUPW is decertified very soon it will mean the end of Canada Post. I subscribe to more than a dozen different magazines. CP staffers consistently intercept them, take them home and read them and, if they're feeling generous, drop them back in the mail to be delivered 1-2 weeks late. My magazines arrive dog-eared, full of sticky fingerprints and even coffee cup rings on them. Those not so damaged often arrive with holes torn in the center of the cover from the removal of CP notes that those arseholes continue to scotch tape to the cover.
I've also received parcels crushed and/or soaked apart and one even had tire tracks on it. Letters I sent containing cheques never arrive, forcing me to cancel them and make other payment arrangements at great inconvenience and cost. What is the most infuriating is that my current post mistress consistently puts mail in the wrong PO box. Despite pointedly bringing strangers mail back to the main counter and informing her that I found someone else's mail in my box, it keeps happening. I missed an appointment with a medical specialist after waiting almost a year because the appointment letter ended up in the box of my neighbor and he/she must've simply tossed it. Credit card statements are often MIA, and the list goes on.
Despite filing official complaints about the missing mail and damage, nothing was ever done. From my perspective, CP employees simply don't give a damn because their union essentially make them untouchable. They are above the law and their exorbitant wage schedule and overly generous benefits package will be the Crown corporation's ruination and bankruptcy.
