SO today I walked into the post office at shoppers in MapleView Mall. My wife handed over the package we wanted to return before the strike and later back to work mandate. In no way were we pissed or mad…rather I felt bad they had to go back to work.
As a member of Unifor, I thought it my duty to express my congratulations at a great effort to my fellow working man. So, I say, Thanks for the effort keep up the fight! The response……I am a shoppers employee and am not an employee of Canada Post. SO, was it a scab or what ever but she gave me the third degree for giving them props.
Jesus Christ Almighty forgive her for she is delusional. When I calmly expressed the need for the workers like Canada Post 50 000+ workers strong she simply grouped them all into a backward group of uneducated vagrants …. boy if I could id punch her in the face, but I got too much to lose.
The nerve of this chick thinking just because someone does not have an education past high school or the many over qualified in the profession. How on this earth does anyone believe that people who risk their health and safety on a daily basis to deliver post in the rain, sleet and snow do not deserve 19 – 24% raise. {Tell that to the politicians who’s pays are in check. One question, has Trump taken a penny of federal money……mmmmm…not yet.} That by the way has not even kept up with inflation……OMG if I could I would have but I played it cool, calm and collected.
But I will never stop fighting for freedom, pay equality and decency. We are all not meant for university but we all deserve to eat.
Try a paper route if you want to know what post have to do perfectly on a daily basis. I did, didn’t last long just goes to show not all Masters of Education educators can and can’t do. So before you go and think these people who are just like all of us do not deserve a raise…….all I can say is go to hell.
Keep up the fight….Amazon your next…people do not undercut yourselves to great pay and lives we all deserve this not matter what race, creed or colour.
Know your worth, and don’t think your better than anyone else, is what I should have said to her.
Hopefully she can come to this revelation on her own
And yes you still deserve to work at shoppers no need to call head office.
