Not to mention the fact that rotating strikes and sporadic delivery would probably allow both sides to drag this on forever and we would be suffering through this strike for months. Locking the employees out is what forced the issue.

I love the CUPW line in their warning to members:
“Canada Post is determined to eliminate work through service cuts, contracting out and new technology, especially the new machines and work methods associated with modernization

If that isn't a sign of a dinosaur that deserves to go extinct, I don't know what is.
