If Postal Workers strike that will be a huge mistake.

They're fortunate right now that they've got a Federal Government that is very Union friendly, but that isnt going to mean squat if they draw this into a strike. People will go to other options and the whole operation is no longer viable.

I'm opposed to the concept of crushing organized labour, but a lot of the Unionized work in this Country, especially Government unionized work, are operating within an environment that only continue to exist because its being artificially supported and subsidized by taxpayers.

Pension benefits? Job security? Higher wages? Health benefits?

What makes Postal workers feel entitled to all of these?
