ITT: people more interested in getting their shit than they are in solidarity.

I guess Canada Post is correct to relax the strike to appease people like that, but I'm disappointed that they feel the need to. Y'all need to suck it up and attribute the blame where it belongs: on the government for failing to capitulate to the workers' demands.

Yeah, kind of dissapointing. Par for the course though. "The bottom line is money, nobody gives a fuck." - SoaD

It’s not Canada Post relaxing the strike, it’s CUPW (the postal workers union). The reason they’re doing this (IMO) is that they don’t want to cause a huge mail backlog going into the holiday season. They are afraid of turning the public against them.

Also many of the workers were unhappy with the way the strike unfolded and there was some disagreement amongst the members - solidarity within the union was either lacking or waning.

A billion+ dollars in the red every coming year and potentially dropping the ball at Christmas? I can already hear the Conservatives foaming at the mouth for more privatization of the public sector.

Conservatives love to point at public services and say "This costs money to run."
