Oddbean new post about login | logout Due to the postal strike in #Canada, our shipments of free #bitcoin resources will be delayed. Feel free to keep requesting resources - our amazing volunteer @joeydd is ready to send everything out as soon as the strike is over!
Why are they striking?
“According to the union, its list of demands includes wage increases aligned with inflation, enhancements to group benefits — such as coverage for fertility treatments and gender-affirming care — improved protections against technological changes, more paid medical leave, paid meal and rest periods and higher short-term disability payments” https://globalnews.ca/news/10871404/canada-post-strike-explained-what-to-know-mail/
I feel bad for the workers but Canada Post has been terribly managed over the last couple decades, especially since online shopping. Amazon Canada used to use Canada Post for pretty much every order. Now they have moved away from Canada Post. It’s the same with many online retailers who prefer to use random no name shipping companies than a “reputable” company like Canada Post. People hardly send and receive letters now. And Canada Post let the parcel delivery side of things slip away.
