Canada Post will profit from labour peace



Those were the immortal words of former CUPW National President Dale Clark: "Canada Post will profit from labour peace." Indeed they have. Yet he was also right when he said just because Canada Post makes a profit, doesn't mean they will be fair and responsible to it's employees. How true.

In times of record profits Canada Post now wants to steal pensions and dramatically roll back wages and benefits for the next generation of employees. That will not help the future Canadian economy. It will only help to clear cut the jobs from Canada and force us to increase taxes to compensate for the lost tax revenue.

So now we hear Canada Post complain that the rotating strike is costing them millions. Then why did they refuse the union's offer to return to work? Because they want to provoke a strike then get back to work legislation and an imposed settlement from a Harper majority. Their con is simply theft driven by lies.
