The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is taking exception to a poll conducted by the federal government on how they might feel about some pretty significant changes at Canada Post.
The survey included questions surrounding the elimination of all door-to-door mail delivery, cutting mail delivery to three times a week and the shut down of rural post offices.
That has angered CUP-W which represents postal workers, and conducted its own survey.
Local union rep, Craig Dyer indicates the poll and the information it contained, provides an idea of where government intends to go with mail delivery.
He says the government survey is all in the negative, and says government actually has a moratorium on the closure of rural post offices.
Dwyer says Canada Post is already going down the road of further automation, but he says cutting jobs is not necessarily cost-saving in the end.
He says machines don’t pay taxes and don’t contribute to the economy.
