Honestly? The Postal Strike has hardly affected me, I've barely noticed. They can stay on strike. I dont think they really should be legislated back to work.

the union would hate me as I don't think people need door to door mail any longer.
That should probably be eliminated. Don't fire anyone but let the losses happen through attrition, and take the rest and put them on the parcel side where the company might still make money. and tell all the workers that some of them might be required to work weekends. Give them their 20% raise over 4 years though, and maintain benefits.
I think Harper tried it about 10 years ago. Perhaps now it the time for it to happen.
