I would think the post office has been taking into account the inevitability of those changes being made at some point one way or another, realistically their money is in parcels. Yes those people could go to fedex or ups, at the end of the day though it is Canada post driving the bus if they are serving lockout notice so they are willing to accept those losses in an effort to get what they want. The true motive as to why they want those pension changes so badly is the question only they know the answer to. In my view when a side isn't willing to look at more than one option I consider that suspicious, now if they offered a number of options besides the one reported then that is different.
