This thread is getting a bit off track, no?
Fact of the matter isn't that CP employees make too much in base salary. It is that they want too large a work force, with too many sick days, too much pension, too much double and triple lay OT etc.
Once again, if Canada post was making billions like a big bank or insurance company or one of the big telecoms I'd say why not? These people are helping drive some of the most profitable companies around. But they aren't. Canada post and its ilk are too big and too inefficient to justify the disproportionate benefits that their employees get. Off the backs of the taxpayer no less.
Then again one could argue that if all for profit companies that have real competition had insane inefficiencies like cp or ahs or the city or provincial bureaucracies that they'd be out of business.
