Its the one thing they are head and shoulders the best at. Why give money to other people to spend when the Government can spend it just fine all by themselves.

My point is this, Canada post isn't struggling right now, since restructuring they are making more money than they have in a long time. Those profits should be shared (reasonably) with their employees, instead they are seeking concessions. When a company does well it is better to have their employees share the rewards, since first of all, without them that company doesn't succeed, and secondly it is good for the economy which in the long run is good for that company because it maintains their customers.
You are an accountant, I'm not sure if you run a private business or work for a larger firm, but imagine if you did work for a publicly traded firm, and saw their stock and profits increase every year, while always increasing their fees to clients, yet every year the came to you saying you weren't getting a raise, or they were reducing your pay. Would that seem like the best thing to do, even though it makes sense for them because their profits will go up?
