The union representing Canada Post workers says the Crown corporation has been laying off striking employees as the labour action by more than 55,000 workers approaches the two-week mark.
Disgusting
“About 55,000 ROE were sent to Service Canada but not to individual members due to the current lack of mail delivery” lmao
I’m pretty sure they’re legally required to send that to the employees — which means couriers.
As long as sevrvice Canada receives it, the employee only needs to be verbally informed.
That shouldbe easy since Canada Post owns a courier company…
This sounds illegal… Also kinda pointless since they aren’t paying the workers while they’re on strike.
It might shake a few votes loose when it comes to a union vote on a contract.
They are sending a message… From their perspective, clearly not pointless, they wouldn’t do it otherwise.
Pathetic.
Who’s going to buy Canada Post? Amazon, Fedex or UPS?
Loomis.
Can someone elaborate on this joke? 🥲
You know those shitty carriers Amazon sometimes hands packages off to.
They’re one of them.
Is this because they get limited compensation from the union for a short time during strikes and lockouts, and by being laid off at this time, this employment insurance may kick in around the same time as their union strike benefits dwindle?
I know so little about these things. I’m just going by what my wife has mentioned in passing, and she was a local president (not as glorious a position as it sounds – more like whomever got the short straw every two years).
Depends on how fast the employer gets your ROE in to CRA. In 2008 I had a company wait to literally the last day they legally had to put it in.
If they’re publicly laying people off, I’d wager they’re being prompt about putting ROEs in. So…yes?
