Who, in this day and age, work for the city or Canada Post to fulfill lifelong career dreams? No, they are there so that they can slack off and not worry about getting fired.
Don't generalize.

As I said above, my wife works for the City (in a unionized position, although she would rather be non-unionized if it was an option) and she is anything but a slacker. She has three university degrees (a Bachelors from McGill and a Bachelors and Masters from UofC), and is thinking of completing a Ph.D. in a few years. She works as a planner for the city because it's the best place for someone of her qualifications to fulfill her lifelong career dreams.

Plus, as I mentioned earlier, she will be working through the strike if her union decides to go that route.
