7 freaking weeks of vacation time and $26 to deliver mail??? Are you kidding me!

Let em rot on the picket line! Better yet, a movement to privatization couldn't come soon enough. The union is out of touch with reality!

$26/hour is good but that isn't a great top end earning potential. Plus I am going to guess that you wouldn't be able to do the job that they do. I know a bunch of them and many of them have to walk roughly 15 km a day, 5 days a week... and that is while carrying a significant weight the entire time. Honestly, do you think that you would be able to do the job? Would you want to do the job for $19/hour? I am thinking it would be pretty simple to find a decent job that was much less physical that paid roughly the same.

Maybe I am just out of touch with reality but topping out at $26/hour doesn't seem like a great gig to me.
