Now lets not bash the individual mail carriers here, I'm pretty sure that the Union told them a good story and convinced them that Canada Post would fold, give them what they wanted because dang nabbit they're organized labour, and they'd be back to work no harm done in a couple of weeks.
Canada Post didn't fold in this case though, and we're seeing that more and more with organized labor versus business.
While this wasn't a crushing like Telus crushing the union, it was a pretty bad beating, and it also harmed the NDP party in parliment as well.
Just coming out of a recession, people don't want to hear or deal with this kind of crap.
