Canadians talk domestic

[gauge22]

I have some.

Company demand causing grief - change mon-fri to staggered rest days. No one gets a weekend any more

Union issues - discipline for injuries, cameras everywhere used for discipline, working weekends, and sick days.
Most union are putting days in cba cause once PP wins everyone is screwed except the billionaires.

No movement but why would companies treat employees well when our cons and Libs work for US shareholders.
Ie train crews denied right to fill pockets of investors.

Buy local.
Support working class not billionaires.

Like the US

Canada post is a fucking joke. The mgmt must be complete shit.

However these workers striking when CP is losing money hand over fist is also a big fucking joke.

Canada Post reports $315-million loss before tax in third quarter

OTTAWA – Canada Post recorded a loss before tax of $315 million in the third quarter of 2024 as strong revenue growth in Direct Marketing did not make up for a decline in Parcels results.

It's actually just above 400 million now.
I cant seem Canada Post failing as it's an icon to Canada much like AirCanada when they were bankrupt our government bailed them out even though it's public company Canada Post.
Anyways they either go back this week or forget it all together.

Since Canada Post had been on strike my package come faster, seeming easier as well.
Chitchat delivery, ups, Loomis, dragonfly, fed.

Maybe one day these postal workers wake up and everyone is laid off or fired. Then Canada post restructures

The railway workers striked when they were making billions a year, they just got forced back to work immediately. Little different but I think the government wants the post office to fail

Canada Post isn't critical to those of us in big cities but it's very necessary in rural and remote areas. Small businesses also rely on them since shipping is way cheaper with Canada Post.

It would be a shame if we didn't have a cheap national way to send mail. One more nail in the coffin of Little India.

I'm just pissed at myself for placing an order the Friday before the holiday weekend. I didn't realize Monday was a holiday so the package shipped Tuesday. I'm guessing the CP workers were already slowing down because my stuff didn't make it to me prior to the strike. So hopefully I get it eventually.

You would think that 72 hours notice should have been enough…any leftovers should have been slowly dispersed by management instead of holding pkgs hostage to make the employees look bad. Management is basically on a paid holiday I guess while pkgs are being held hostage

I ordered from Ace last week and they used purolator. Came decently quick considered it travelled across the entire country lol

Correct and we can use purolater to send receive items however purolater will not touch Canada post items they state that on their own website.

Correct, I know a supervisor going to my gym and he welcomes the free money while the posties suffer.

He basically said that because the government, no matter who is in power, have legislated railways, port workers and postal workers back to work before, the management will never negotiate in good faith. They will just drag it out until the government force a contract on the union again.

It sucks now for anyone planning to get from China.

I have not used ACE, but Oxygen has been good for me.

I am trying to look them up but cannot find the site. I am in Ontario and my normal provider will only ship Canada Post. I am only hearing positive about Ace but cannot find a site.

Yes to company just waiting it out.

Go to the Steroid Underground forum on this site and look up Ace. I think their post is actually at the top right now.

@DECLAN

I feel bad for people who didn’t plan out their gear supply properly. Everyone in this game long enough have an apocalypse stash but for those only got in the game recently are unlucky.

The Chinese supply issue is a bigger problem than CP strike, you will always have other shipping option but steroid shortages is going to cost new guys.

What is the Chinese supply issue? Is it already happening?

There is raw shortage due to manufactures getting arrested and production stopped for now.

This is a separate issue with CN just announcing not sending to Canada due to the strike, maybe for vendors using the other couriers are still shipping packages though.

Happens every year.

Lol no it doesn’t.

 

[Justaguy99]

Ya I've got several int packs held up.
But theyvhave made good on communicating a fix..
Shortage is being blown out of proportion in my opinion.
But hopefully everyone stocked up when the getting was good.

I think most reps have already or will switch to others like fedex, ups or purolator.

My oxygen rep has done just that, a good thing because i was down to my last bottle of test lol.

[Justaguy99]

China vendor that uses bitcoin now needs small adjustment.
