Our rep called this morning. He is not sure what wil happen May 22 when Canada Post workers can strike again but he warned us to have mail into the system by the 14th of May to ensure it asll reached its destination, especially anything in the furthest provinces.
We do have another shipper lined up in case there is a strike but they may not ship to the more rural destinations.
 
So, just to clarify.
it’s not a “can” strike again.

The members nor the union get any choice.
Canada post already stated that they did not anticipate this, but since the government only PAUSED the strike, it’s to RESUME on the 22nd. No say by the employees union or corporation. No rotating strikes. No lockout. A complete resumption of the strike as it was in December.

The only thing that will stop it is Canada post and the union signing a 4 year agreement before that date.

Both Canada post and the union thought there would be another vote. Canada post banked on employees being broke and accepting concessions and the union banked on employees being mad about being forced back to get a successful vote, neither will happen.

The government could stop this, just like they paused it. Keep that in mind but since a whole lot of idiots re voted in the liberals, expect the status quo.
 
Management won’t negotiate they just need to create a big enough crisis so the government steps in with back to work legislation. Back in the fall when the union was on strike all managers received an extra hazard bonus while staying at home.
