The protection of the lazy and stupid is exactly what unions and specifically the Canada Post union does.

That maybe the case, I don't know enough about that organization to comment otherwise. However, my experience in with my agency is this. People always complain about the union protecting lazy people. I can tell you that 95% of the reason these idiots still have a job in my agency is because of management, not the union. Management is incompetent. First, the wrong people are promoted in the government. Second, they have no training on how to properly document incompetent people. Thirdly, upper management has no will to even try and deal with these people.
I can tell you 100% that it is not the union in my agency that protects these idiots, it is management. In one case, lower management recommended a 30 day suspension for this employee. The director has the final say and he said a letter of reprimand was sufficient.
People need to know that in a lot of cases it is the management of the government that protects these people not the unions.
