Ask anyone in the layoff thread if they'd be okay keeping their job, except they wouldn't get paid for the hour they're on lunch. That's what Canada Post is proposing. Taking away the paid portion of lunch. They're not proposing they take away a lunch break, because that's illegal.
There's very few companies in Canada that offer a DB pension anymore, most are DC. And I think anyone in O&G in the last year has seen their benefits get reduced.
I could copy and paste most of my comments from the last CP strike thread. But the fact that the union in this economy refuses to go to a DC pension and wants job security worked into a contract in a company that needs to continue to evolve or none of its employees will have work in a decade, is baffling.
