MODERATORS
Big picture: Because the cost of living (inflation is just one component) has been increasing for 40 years, with very little increase in compensation or benefits.
Small picture: Canada Post wants to exploit delivery/logistics workers the way Amazon does, and that's a crock of shit.
This is really helpful. Most of what I have seen are people on reddit screeching about how entitled and unskilled postal workers are. I'll continue to buy locally and avoid Amazon.
