    Yeah i would prefer to get my mail but I’m not angry at the workers wtf. Everyone who talks about it IRL gets meet with an immediate “yeah Holy fuck just pay your workers” to let them know i won’t be talking shit

      Everyone blames poor people for asking for a higher wage every time porky throws a tantrum and raises prices.

      How about this? I blame porky for being too greedy to pay the people that actually run the whole thing that HE caused the protest. If porky’s not at fault for his protests, neither are the workers.

        Yeah exactly. It goes to show how much the person blaming the workers will take at work, too. Like you don’t at least feel jealous that they have a union willing to strike? You just want to be a boss’ pet?

    By Wednesday, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business had estimated that the postal strike, which began on Nov. 15, would have cost small- and medium-sized businesses more than $1 billion.

    How much would it have cost to just give them what they want, I wonder? kyle

        I know it’s about more than money to them, but it personally annoys me whenever there’s media coverage of a strike and they say ”it’s costing businesses X amount of money”. Yeah, that’s the point of a strike, good job.

      more, because if strikes work, other people would try it, and then where would we be? we might end up with a democracy! cant have that.
