That article is a nice summary read. So many things boggle my mind from the union:
So CUPW used the dispute to push back. It wanted Canada Post to become larger, rather than smaller. It urged the post office, for example, to get into banking, getting rid of super mailboxes and allowing letter carriers to check up on the elderly along their routes. Higher postal rates would pay for the expanded service.
Workers seem to be out of touch with a stark reality: Canada Post isn’t a make-work project.

In material distributed Friday, the union is calling on Canada Post to be more like France's postal service, which is combating reduced postal use by starting a new service called, Bonjour facteur! (Good morning, postman!).
Under the program, French letter carriers would do jobs usually carried out by family members, such as checking-in on the elderly and delivering medicines from local pharmacies to people with mobility problems.
WTF?! Next thing you know, the postal union will want to start up hospices, dog walking services or take over pool boy/milkmen duties for MILF's.
