Take out your crystal ball regarding Canada Post

[musicyouneed]

Take out your crystal ball regarding Canada Post.  What do you think is going to happen?  Are the postal workers going to be on strike till Christmas?  Canada Post has 45 days to produce a plan re the proposed changes, are the postal workers going to stay out till then or longer?  

I am hoping that by mid month Oct the government orders them back to work with arbitration.  I am hoping that the government says that Canada Post has to work within it's budget and that they are not going to be bailed out by the tax payer.  They need to cut about 20% of their workforce.  Canada post workers are not going to like that one bit.  It is going to get ugly. 

What does your crystal ball say?

"Ahhh...now CUPW has announced they will revert to rotating strikes. I won't reopen my store until at least Tuesday because I wonder if Canada Post will lock them out. With rotating strikes mail volume will still be reduced and Canada Post will lose more money and they likely will worry that CUPW will resume a full strike closer to Christmas. I am guessing the decision to go to rotating strikes is due to pressure from unhappy members not getting paid".

I don't think Canada Post will lock them out. CP will continue to remain passive during negotiations and will wait for the government to legislate them back to work, especially if they try a full strike again during the holiday season.
