Striking postal workers demand higher wages, better working conditions, and... FREE TRANSGENDER surgery?!
We ponder how many Canadians are sympathetic to such a ludicrous demand…
Canada Post remained at the picket lines this week after declining their latest contract offer from the federal government. Though offered an annual wage increase of 11.5% over four years, that failed to reverse the work stoppage.
Among the other offerings include pension protections, as well as greater job security and health benefits. But that’s not good enough for the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW).
This uber-woke union is demanding a 24% wage increase plus better working conditions, as well as free transgender surgery for the rank-and-file!
If CUPW is successful, mailman Michael can become mailwoman Michele should he/she/it desire a lifestyle change. We’re not making this up!
Canada Post's financial situation unsustainable

'Significant change is urgently needed to preserve Canada Post's delivery network, which is vital because it's the only delivery network built to serve all Canadians,' said Andre Hudon.https://t.co/HiK44nI3Y1
When CUPW went out on strike last Friday, one of their major grievances was members could not access “gender-affirming care” as part of their benefits plan.
In addition, the union is also asking for “precautionary cessation of work for pregnant and breastfeeding employees”. (Note the use of the word “employees” rather than “women.”)
As the saying goes, “go woke, go broke.” But here’s the kicker: Canada Post is already broke!
The Crown Corporation is already saddled with a $3 billion deficit. It’s not a matter of whether the cupboard is bare, rather, when the cupboard is repossessed!
That also begs the question: How many Canadians are sympathetic to such a ludicrous demand?
