Canada Post Lockout Mail Service Discontinued

No more mail, the rotating strikes where not working, as no progress was being made at the negotiation table, so now it's an all out strike, until an agreement can be set up. Workers at Canada Post have actually been without a contract for the past 8 months, now it's all come to a head, as further sacrifices have been demanded of it's workers.
So if you have ordered anything online, relying on Canada post, at any point on the journey to you, your not getting them for a while. As the postal workers have been locked out by the union, even though many workers showed up for work they surprised when told to go home.
In a nut shell the dispute is not trivial, they want to cut benefits, change how long their holidays are, cut pensions, diminish wages, change sick day benefits and make the walking carriers carry much more. Personally I think they have a reason to strike, it's just so darned inconvenient.

So if you have a pension cheque coming,don't hold your breath, and no not getting your credit card bill is not a good enough excuse for not paying it, your credit score will still be affected.
Although stand in workers may fill in for people on strike, it may not happen if history repeats itself, for back in 1997 the replacement workers could not get past the picket lines.
