It is nice to read healthy comments from informed people no matter which side of the debate they may be on. As a letter carrier with more than 30 years of service, I have learned that most of my customers understand that I do more than put pieces of paper into square boxes. The negative comments from those who do not know my job do not affect me because I know they could never walk a mile in my shoes. Canada Post may sign my paycheque but I joined in the day when your customers came first and a profit was not a priority. I, and many of my co-workers, do this job because we enjoy the interaction with the people we meet, their dogs and kids, and because it satisfies a need to provide a service that is important...and to do it well. The pay and benefits have allowed me to raise a family in comfort, but not in luxury. I have been a longtime defender of the company, the service and my co-workers at the inevitable backyard BBQ question period..but no more.The soul of Canada Post has been hijacked by a political agenda that is determined to change the face of public sector unions in Canada at the expense of my customers. Mail delivery on a daily basis is no longer a priority to management if it means spending outside of the budget. It can sit for a day or two. I may be a pessimistic old goat but I believe that we posties are just the first to fall. Next up?....it could be any one of you, union or not.
