Our strike is effective!
Canada Post claimed that the mail will not be impacted by striking PSAC workers …
- Why then is Canada Post running to the courts, asking for injunctions and claiming that the mail is being delayed by over 50 per cent? Check out this direct quote from an affidavit filed in Halifax on November 27, 2008:
“ … This has negatively impacted operations, schedules and guaranteed delivery times. As a result, mail delivery in the province has been negatively affected with complete failure of mail delivery to satisfy guaranteed delivery times for certain products and increased costs of the operations.”
Canada Post is claiming that the forecasted volumes are getting through …
- Why then is there no mail in the plants to sort and to be taken out?
Canada Post is taking out advertisements claiming that the mail is moving …
- Why then is Canada Post asking mail sorters and mail carriers to voluntarily take four hours of vacation leave each day when they arrive for their shift?
Canada Post's policy on priority mail is that packages are to be delivered promptly by a mail carrier …
- Why then is Canada Post instructing mail carriers to leave cards advising customers to pick up packages at the post office?
Canada Post is claiming that it's business as usual …
- Why then is Canada Post re-recording striking PSAC members' voice mail to say that they are on vacation?
WHO IS DESPERATE?
-
Canada Post realizes that it cannot carry on business as usual.
-
Canada Post keeps running to courts across the country to limit our impact.
-
Canada Post wants us back to work – but would rather negotiate through the website and not deal with our bargaining team.
How much money is Canada Post spending on their campaign to get you back into work? To make slick videos? To put ads in the papers? To send mail to your home? To send managers to the picket lines to “persuade” you?
The best way to maintain a viable Canada Post for the future is to put that money where it belongs – in your collective agreement!
Our strike IS having an impact.
We MUST keep up the pressure.
We will WIN this strike on the picket line.
Stay strong!
