Canada Post had proposed an 11.5 per cent wage increase over four years, wage protection against inflation, improved leave entitlements, better protection for rural and suburban mail carriers, and protection of the defined benefit pension for current employees, as well as their job security and health benefits."Personally, I say I am perfectly fine with the union starving out the company until they get what they want.
