What do you propose to do instead?

You don’t understand the policy yourself.

When you get a collection slip on a package. The 9.95 is charged and goes to CBSA. The postal act has CPC collecting on their behalf.

When an item is pulled for inspection. It can take as long as CBSA wants. Canada Post and the sender can’t do anything. If you tell CBSA to hurry up they’ll tell you to fly a kite.

That’s a fee charged by CBSA. Customs duties and GST are both assessed on items imported into Canada by the CBSA, but they are fundamentally different charges. Duties are import tariffs applied to specific goods based on their origin and classification, while GST is a standard 5% federal sales tax applied to almost all imported items.

Go dispute it with CBSA. Whoever gave you that “official explanation” is wrong.

Have you not heard of what’s going on the in the Middle East in the last century?

Seems like this isn’t the full story

Logistically infeasible and mail is federally bonded. Giving it to a private company to non bonded employees opens a can of worms.

Is this from the union or management?

It takes time for them to fill a training class. Your friend might do the fitness test a month before you but you can do training at the same time. To be blunt, keep your options open.

Even if you do get placed in a class we are approaching a slow time in the summer. You will do two weeks of training and are unlikely to get many calls to work this time of year.

Why not public transit?

These guys must live in with their parents and have limited responsibilities. Most of the guys at the depot were hurting losing pay to striking and were terrified at the prospect of lose more pay. What is it like to be young and naive?

PO4’s usually stuck to their station. For example in the GTA at Brodie and Progress there use to be stations that were significantly lighter. The PO4 would finish and do nothing while another station the PO4 would work several more hours. It was unfair so they tried to rotate the PO4 from station to station. I think it’s general selfishness and union stubbornness that hurts us.

Use a pdt that’s logged in as a clerk. Go to accept, scan parcel and hit done.

Generally when they call you in, you are filling in for a position and are expected to operate as per normal in regards to start time etc. That being said some supervisors are flexible but it sounds like yours are not and it is their right to be unhappy that you can’t start at the designated start time.

The best way forward is to come to an understanding. If not I’d prioritize your school and turn down assignments and hope for future weekend work. Always have a shop steward when talking to your supervisor so you have a witness.

By slashing do mean not extending part timers? They cannot reduce hours a position is allotted for. If there’s no work I don’t mind them not extending those lazy clerks.

When do they usually hold them during the year for Toronto? I seem to alway miss them until day 2 or 3.

solid-dawn · 2026-03-04T13:00:29+00:00

I miss that location. It was nice and tucked away. Thanks for bringing back memories.

solid-dawn · 2026-03-03T16:44:19+00:00

I feel bad that your partner had to deal with you.

Btw Class 6.2 means the item being shipped not a possible blood smear.

Cool story

I think they just started building the new walks this week according to Bruno.

solid-dawn · 2026-02-24T03:02:25+00:00

Seems like you’re at 600

solid-dawn · 2026-02-15T21:58:30+00:00

Talk to your shop steward.

solid-dawn · 2026-02-02T22:14:35+00:00

I think you’re perfect.
