Canada has already benefited from Moyas attentions.

“When there are not enough relief to cover all the routes, letter carriers have to do ‘forceback’ which is compulsory overtime where you deliver a portion of another route on top of your own full route. I have not heard of many other workplaces where workers can be forced against their will to do overtime, and this kind of arrangement sets a pretty terrible precedent for labour standards. But the union agreed to it lo those many years ago because they saw that the company would love to leave more and more routes uncovered and mail undelivered as it undermines the post office as a public service and serves their ultimate goal of privatization. “

Different tactics but the same goal over here, with all the stories breaking in the press at the moment about DOs only delivering on alternate days.

However, it does illustrate the dilemma that the union face.

Interesting to know who is leaking the stories ?
It is fairly obvious that the 2man system would produce unworkable routes ,leaving part of a delivery to be done the next day.thus effectively creating an every other day delivery.
The question is why doesn't Postcomm seem bothered ???
I feel a freedom of information request brewing...

On a separate note , does the privatisation bill in any way set limitations on current senior management taking over the company ??? And if not , why not?
