It's not the job of the people you are roasting to do the things you are roasting them for. Do you like going to work and being criticized about things that are not your job not getting done?

I don't get people.

Yes. They should just not care that my mailbox is frozen shut and damage my items because they don't care to fix the large box that can actually fit them. Instead shoving many of my packages in the small one and damaging my items. Instead of other options like leaving a fucking slip and leaving the packages at the local office.

The mail carrier did that. They chose to be a lazy asshat but want to demand more money.

But you all forgot that part of my post and just focused on the falling mailbox.

Of course. Like the examples I've given why should I support this?

No extra effort is given.

Anyone thinking Canada Post service quality will get any better if they get all they want is delusional. It will continue to slide because they as a whole are not a good company.

Anyways. I'm done with this topic and it shouldn't be discussed here anymore. And I know there are many CP workers who are active in this thread.

You really need to understand this so read it even though I posted it already. One of the issues the postal carriers are striking about is that they HAVE to deliver everything they're given for their route NO MATTER WHAT. It's the same reason they don't wait at people's doors instead of just leaving a pickup slip. Wait a couple of minutes every time and they're working huge amounts of overtime for nothing. The corporation is trying to keep things how they are and you're supporting it.

I have a community mailbox so this falls on deaf ears. There's no one ever coming to my door.

Anyways like I said. I'm done with this convo.

Part of delivering no matter what sometimes means stuffing shit where it doesn't fit because you don't have time.

You said that before but you still came back to post more ignorant things so I don't really believe you're done yet.

I know I commented on the whole union/political debate, and I have opinions on the matter (and I somewhat enjoy the ongoing debate, even at the lowest points of it).

But can we please quit the political talk in this deal thread on a very merry Red Thursday?

Anyone know where I can get black ops 4 cheapest 4 pc?

I think Amazon physical copy for $59.99: https://www.amazon.ca/Call-Duty-Bla...F8&qid=1542917787&sr=8-7&keywords=black+ops+4
And Battle.net for $63.99: https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/call-of-duty-black-ops-4?p=43192

are the best prices currently for PC, as far as I can find! CDKeys also has the US region (which I think also includes us) at $62.59 currently, and that's without tax, so maybe the best deal of the bunch.

Sorry but you can't have shipping discussion in this thread then get upset when people talk about the realities of the Canada Post situation because it directly affects shipping and some of the major issue we experience. They're one and the same.

You're not listening. They have to deliver everything. You're not the only dude whose box is frozen. The world doesn't revolve around you. Every concession they make because shit like boxes are not fixed or pathways aren't cleared drastically increases their working time. Increased hours increased mistakes. Like its not the carriers fault that the mailbox is shit. They would also prefer the boxes to not be shit but they can't strike for maintenance.

The mail carrier did that. They chose to be a lazy asshat but want to demand more money.

It's not just about money. And the grand reality is there will always be shitty workers. You dont toss the legitimacy of the greivances these people have because sometimes you get bad service (which isnt even entirely their fault)

But you all forgot that part of my post and just focused on the falling mailbox.

No but its one of several things you're being obtuse about.

I'm fine with the government mandating back to work legislation and let the parties continue to bargain. They've had enough time inconveniencing us and what's worse is that it's creeping into the holidays. This shit is getting ridiculous.

I'm pretty torn on the forced end of the postal strike. On the one hand, I get that postage is an essential service and even rotating strikes can cause a ton of packages to miss the holidays. That could suck for a ton of families, especially the kids.

But then I see people advocating for workers to be forced back, removing their rights in the process, because a fucking video game (for themselves) is late and I just lose faith in humanity.

If they're working what reason does CP have to negotiate in good faith?

Some people in this thread act like ordering something online is the only way of buying gifts.
My daughter's birthday is soon and I bought all her presents from a store cause I don't want to take the chance of them being late. It's not that difficult. There are other options.

No one likes a postage strike or any essential service strike. But what is the point of being allowed to strike if the government will remove that ability at the first sign that its getting too inconvenient?

If you're a worker all this shit does is make the other end wait it out because they know the government will step in. They give less concessions because they get the ability to ride it out. If a worker can't use the leverage of not working what fucking leverage do they even have? Whole thing is wack as fuck as far as I'm concerned.

Then again, I actually believe in workers not being slaves. Sometimes I feel like we would be better off if they gave all the apathetic the finger and just quit. Aight, now what?

The answer is they move from a rolling strike once the back to work is done, to a full strike.
With back to work legislation they wouldn't be legally allowed to. Even if they were allowed it would be a massively stupid move to throw away the leverage of Christmas for going weeks without pay in the new year.

That's how I feel to, CP should just have a full strike right now because of this.

Sometimes, I feel like it would be best to privatize Canada Post and let the likes of UPS and Co compete for the majority of the market. Also, did you just compare Canada Post workers to slaves because wow..... If that is indeed the comparison you're intending to draw, you're very out of touch with reality.

It's not like this strike has been sprung on everyone out of the blue. There was notice before it even started and we've been experiencing this rolling partial strike for weeks. Short of them not doing it, I'm not sure what else they could have done to make this as convenient as possible.

Sure, too bad for rural Canada who would be left without anything. Ask those communities that Greyhound pulled out of in western Canada feels like. What's that, just privatize the money making parts and give the money losing parts to the government to subsidize? Your CPC candidate loves you.

I don't see a point in privitizing public assets personally.

Obvious figure of speech was obvious. You know this though so I'm not going to entertain the stupiity of this semantic. If what people want is for workers to go to work, shut the fuck up about issues amd take their paycheck, I would respect you slightly more than the pretend "I care as long as I don't have to suffer" dance people always do.

It's transparent as fuck.

That would be a mistake and anyone saying they should is not only wrong, they are out of their minds. we would be worst off because of it.

You don't think it was timed to occur around the holiday season on purpose to try and get what they want because striking around this time of year makes it the most inconvenient for all businesses affected?

Fair enough, I meant more taking into account the inherent nature of a strike like this, it's been pretty painless. At least enough that it makes people supporting taking the workers' right to strike away seem ridiculous.

Your point being? If I recall, theyve been without a contract for a while.
If they had the advantage, why not use it? Would you suddenly be more angry at Canada Post if they had locked out the workers at a time when there is lower mail volume because it would help curry favour in the court of public opinion??
