Union remains at odds with Canada Post as busy holiday season kicks off
Striking postal workers in Sault Ste. Marie were lined up along Bay Street Tuesday, as both their union and their employer remain miles apart on a number of ongoing labour issues.
Sheaves says Canada Post is “misleading the public,” by claiming that labour costs have resulted in billions of dollars lost. The union president believes those billions of dollars have instead been spent on “strategic investments,” such as fleets of new vehicles and a $470-million zero-carbon Canada Post facility that opened in Scarborough, Ont. last year.
“The fact that this strike is happening is more because of corporate greed,” she told SooToday. “These people are seeing their pensions as well as their benefits overridden, which should not happen. “If Canada Post wants to talk and wants to hash this out and get this over with — and wants us back to work — reinstate our collective agreement. Put us back on the job,” he said.
