Overburdened

And we're off!!! This week we got the final wording of our new collective agreement and demands for the next round of negotiations are already due in to regional the day this episode is published.

What happens from here? We talk about resolutions and what the negotiating committee does with them while we try to force the corporation to negotiate and they try their hardest to ignore us.

Why the heck not? Canada Post has a huge array of opportunities to improve the lives of Canadians, add stability to the corporation and boost returns for the government. 

This week we do a review of Postal Banking and introduce a host of other services Canada Post is in an excellent position to provide, if only they had the motivation to do good.....

Maybe? I may be biased. Is Canada Post treating you as "well" as they are other employees?

People love unions but even some members hate them. We remind listeners of some of the benefits and why some may disagree.

It's late and I didn't do a final listen on this one after editing so I hope it's all good!
