Who the heck wants a permanent part-time job? Outside of maybe a retiree?

I’d be willing to become a permanent part-timer if if meant I could sit around and funnel 100% of the money coming in to fund the union

Important context/rebuttal:
-
Depending on your seniority and the flexibility of the hours you can bid, 20 hours a week plus benefits would be phenomenal. Of course this only works if you can balance it out with the rest of your personal life, so your mileage may vary.

It’s clear that Canada Post is out of touch with the workers of this country. A Canada Post spokesperson said earlier in the strike that young people don’t want full-time work; that they all want “flexibility.”

Thank you so much for this, didn’t know where to get the unions side of things.
I was getting the impression management wanted to compete with the Amazon curriers but I didn’t expect this.
The union has every right to fight this, and I hope they win. At the same time I hope that they do find a middle ground with the 7-day delivery. While I don’t want/need it, the general population does expect 7 day/week delivery like everyone else does. Even if it’s only a limited service I feel it’s something they can negotiate with. (Not that it means much based on their article)

I could see that being enough to live off if you already paid off a mortgage or have low rent from being there a long time, or have a partner working as well.
