Delivering mail isn't exactly rocket appliances, but it's not as simple as children delivering flyers. What it is is menial and basic for an adult. It's unskilled labour that doesn't involve labour, but requires a functioning brain.
What gets me about this potential strike is just how ridiculous it is for a union to be making demands of a monopoly in a dying industry. What ya gonna do? Demand job security? It's simply hilarious.
The whole world is already turning to electronic delivery because it's more reliable, cheaper, and preferred. Postal companies need to be coming up with ideas to maintain their viability, not worrying about guaranteeing some 27 year old "lifer" a job until he's 65.
LOL @ unions. Get your heads out of your asses, folks. Even livestock are smart enough to move on to the next water source when it becomes obvious the one they're drinking from is drying up.
