But at least the corporation tries to stay profitable and minimize their tax burden. The union doesn't care about that except to extract as much as possible for themselves.

Canada Post is not government funded and has never affected your tax dollars. Their pension in decent shape; the recent funding was only for a solvency deficit.
They are a successful corporation and are growing more than they lead us to believe.
