Canadian Postal Workers Back To Delivering The Mail

Mail will delivery will be resuming today in Canada, but it will be quite a while before Canadians can expect regular mail service, as Canada is a big country there will be much mail accumulated.

The Crown Corporation is saying that "Starting up a national postal system in a country as big and diverse as Canada takes some time," Canada Post spokesman Jon Hamilton said in an interview.

"It is going to take some time overall to stabilize the system, get it back up to full capacity and ensure we can meet our delivery standards."

Hamilton said first priority will go to delivering mail that's been "trapped in the system" since rotating strikes started on June 3.

So breath a sigh of relief Canadians as soon you will get the letters the parcels the card that have been long awaited, this week maybe next.

Have the disputes been rectified? Jon Hamilton spokes person for Canada post says "There's no question we're going to have to, you know, rebuild relationships and figure out a way that we can work together to build a postal system that's going to serve Canadians well into the future."

The legislation makes postal workers to accept salaries that are lower than Canada Post's offered last time. On issues not related to wages, it imposes a form of winner-take-all arbitration in which the union and corporation will each make a final offer, one of which will be accepted.

"It's all favored towards Canada Post management and it's not going to be good for us," predicted George Floresco, third national vice-president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

So all is not over, will the Canadian Postal workers get a good deal, or will there be more disputes down the line?
