Post by thread:[OT] Canada Post Forced to Shut Down Urban Operati

Yup, they've been doing rotating strikes for the past week, and as of 2 days ago the union was locked out, so it's fully shut down. The federal government has said they will table back to work legislation, so I don't see the strike lasting very long.

It is where the government passes a law that says they have to go back to work, although I think the prison system is so over crowded that they wouldn't be able to deal with the workers if they stayed on strike. Currently, the workers are locked out.

You cannot be seriously implying that the Canadian government will put the workers in jail. :) The legislation you are referring to, will offer them a choice of "report to work, or find work somewhere else". All of the jobs I've had, worked that way, except it didn't take federal legislation for my boss to fire me if I decided not to show up for a few days. Vitaliy

OK, we all know something's going on with Canada Post now. Please utilize your sources for news if you need more info and save the commentary for somewhere else. While you're there you'll notice the big news about what happened after the Stanley Cup game the other day. No, it wasn't me kissing in public.
