They weren’t even asking for that much, it’s pretty ridiculous that Canada Post leadership fought this hard to prevent people that have been there 28 years or more 2 extra weeks of vacation.
from my understanding all this does is kick the can down the road to May and Canada Post leadership is still fighting to prevent that 2 weeks of vacation
Amid the ongoing Canada Post strike, federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon announced Friday that he is asking the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to order workers back on the job if it agrees with his determination there is an “impasse” in negotiations.
If the CIRB agrees, MacKinnon says the labour relations board would order Canada Post and all employees represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers to resume operations and extend the terms of the existing collective agreements until May 2025.
I believe after ten years of continuous employment anyone is entitled to 4 weeks vacation so it would mean at least 6 weeks per year, but could be more since that 4 is minimum and they could have more with their current agreement.
My mom working for the provincial government had about 8 weeks after 30 years or so before she retired.
Not really, that’s 1 year of 9% and 3 years of 3%. Not much when (correct me if I’m wrong but I I can’t find any evidence otherwise) they’ve had a total increase of 4% over their last contract when the previous one ended in 2018. Inflation according to the BoC was 20% over that time and we all know in reality cost of living has gone up more than that. It’s just catching up.
but you must believe what reddit is telling you that these people are entitled and that a immigrant would be happy to take their job with their current pay no problem. /s

Wait, 2 whole extra weeks? How many weeks do they have now? 😳

20% raise on 4 years is that much

23 bucks to 27.60 IS not that much.
