Raise the Hammer

Thanks for having the correct facts Ryan.

Bucket Wish List of Employers, maybe I'm next

McDonalds been there,
Monopoly control like Canada Post Corp.... I wish , ... darn only at McDonalds again.
Canada Post- not

Every work experience has it's benefits.

What's with all the Mickey D and minimum wage banter. If the kids try to unionize, the Corporation would rather close down shop, move one block up the road with new employees than have it occur. Studies have shown that higher wages in the fast food sector do not raise consumer costs but do affect profits and only slightly. Hence good franchisee owner/operators maintain their long term full time staff through incentives other than wages. ie. Funding vacations / retreats, sports teams or other tax deductible means. There is a reason a new McDonald's franchise will run you over one million dollars now a days, consider it a printing press.

Running any business , small or large, well (unionized or not) requires skill. Some objective goals, a commitment to outstanding service, safety, etc. When it's a monopoly like Canada Post and competition is limited to only a handful of alternative courier options like UPS for parcels but Purolator not being one since Canada Post owns it as well. With $281 million profit. It would appear there is a cornered market. Canada Post Corp can do whatever it wants to now that the Harper Conservatives have given them Carte Blanche on these employees and lost all ethical reason to negotiate. The trust and ethics have been broken, try fixing that.

Sounds like privatization to me. Perhaps it's already been worked out that way in the back rooms.

Opinion

I'm surprised to see nothing in mainstream media nor any Conservative Party Patsy object to Steven Harper's new title and last bill passed before the holiday break.

Steven Harper declares himself the new " Chancellor of Canada" under Bill F-yew which passes unanimously.
