boobz09 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 CP and union had a meeting today. it lasted about 10 mins. the union basically said accept everything or nothing. Canada Post rejected everything and that was that. hopefully they can come to an agreement! the outlook is currently looking bleek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoriley Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The Canadian Union of Postal Workers announced Thursday that its members in Winnipeg would strike for 24 hours, then the strike would continue in other locations that would be announced later. http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/cab/abn/y11/m06/i03/s02 http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3152488 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcvinyl Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The Canadian Union of Postal Workers announced Thursday that its members in Winnipeg would strike for 24 hours, then the strike would continue in other locations that would be announced later. I am a bit confused by this. So no city will be on strike at this point for longer than 24 hours? If so awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoriley Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I guess it will start as a limited rotating strike in different cities starting with Winnipeg. So it won't stop mail entirely but slow it down and to put pressure on Canada Post....But I guess if that doesn't work a full strike may follow?

bobfrombob Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The only provision I would add is that the postal union is one of the most militant in Canada, maybe anywhere. So even if they are only officially on strike in Winnipeg (CBC is now reporting that Hamilton is next), I wouldn't be surprised if members in the rest of the country are at less than 100% as well.

You know since the announcement of this strike I have only received mail once which was yesterday!! And it was a huge bundle of mail!!! That is four business days without mail. I wouldn't be surprised if what you are saying ends up being the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lockout impacts all Canada Post domestic, US and international shipments, as well as shipments into Canada via foreign postal carriers such as USPS or Royal Mail. Sellers who have not yet shipped items that have been paid for are encouraged to work with their buyers to discuss potential alternate shipping options. Sellers who are willing to offer courier services, such as UPS, FedEx and Purolator, are also encouraged to modify their listings to offer these additional options and clearly call this out in their item descriptions. We are putting messaging in place to alert buyers to the situation, and implemented a message in feedback flows to remind buyers that shipping delays due to labour disputes are not within a seller's control. As we announced June 2nd, we will work closely with the Seller Standards team to protect Canadian sellers from lower performance ratings received due to postal disruption-related issues. This is an unfortunate and frustrating situation for all of us. While we hope for a quick resolution to the lockout, we will do everything in our power to help and support Canadian sellers through these difficult times. Sincerely, eBay Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brosgetstoked Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I got an email today telling me my Wonder Years lp shipped. I should have just cancelled because with this strike I'll probably be able to just buy it from the band at warped before it arrives. Also, I like how my hightide hotel lp has apparently finally shipped after months of waiting but it is now stuck somewhere in the post so who knows if I'll ever get it.

sharkticon Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The lady at my post office today told me that they would not be accepting any mail headed to Canada until the strike resolves. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
