I hate to say it, but it looks like the possibility looming of a postal
strike in Canada. Could happen as early as Dec. 8.

The blighters!!!!

Here's a small blurb from Global's news website

"Postal strike threatened
Just in time for the holiday season, three groups of Canada Post workers are
threatening to strike. 2,600 administrative, clerical and technical workers
voted 73 per cent in favour of a strike that could come as early as Dec. 8".

Gee, I hadn't heard that either. Our news here is mostly taken over with
Danny Williams, a looming public transportation strike and the Bush visit to
Halifax.

Hmmm must keep that in mind. Thanks Shelagh!

I hadn't heard about this either, just asked hubby & he said he hasn't heard
anything.

I know customs has been having some union problems, but I think they are on
a '"work to rule" at the mment.

In the paper this morning, they were saying it was clerks,
etc, and they would keep the mail moving. The people that
key in the mail and delivery people are not going on strike
- at least not yet.

Yes, but if the strikers put up a picket line, will the other unions cross
it? I doubt it. Anyhow, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it all gets
resolved.
