Canadian media coverage of the postal strike promotes anti-worker narratives

One possible factor (of many) - it’s being covered by national reporters whose go-to these days is negative framing. Issues aren’t being covered so much as criticism or opposition. It’s a bad practice that doesn’t serve to inform, but may generate clicks.

Agree. The strike is always chose this action as a last resort. But they have been fighting for a year and Canada Post repeatedly has used this type of tactic forcing a strike by its workers. #CUPWSOLIDARITY

Canadian media is garbage and has been pushing a RW agenda for years

Coverage has been terrible, esp claims we don't need Canada Post 😡 Happy to see the CBC today: 'It's getting a bit scary' Workers worried as strike drags on #PayTheWorkers #FireTheCEOs 'Canada Post workers are no different than any other Canadian. We're all struggling' www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

'It's getting a bit scary': Calgary Canada Post worker worried as national strike drags on | CBC News

Jennifer Henson, a 16-year Canada Post employee, is among the workers in Calgary growing concerned as the national strike reaches the two-week mark. The local union says those on the picket line are having to make tough financial decisions.

The small businesses they have on complaining about having to use private companies at three times the price should reveal volumes. Seems like workers may not be the problem.

a postal strike is a garage sale for the prepared, AKA UPS, Purolator & FedEx...

They've always done this. They pit workers against everybody else as an anti-union measure. I had a co-worker very opinionated on how greedy Canada Post workers were until I outlined what their demands were. He softened his stance considerably.

I’ve noticed that. All I’m hearing is absolutely ridiculous requests from the workers that I can’t confirm. Like they want us (the public) to be mandated to leave out cookies for them like they did during COVID-19. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Both "sides" in labour action are employers and consumers. Workers get to voice.

Or maybe some of us are old enough to remember how these same unions held Canadians hostage around Christmas, time after time for decades when they knew they had the upper hand. A new hand has been dealt and its a weak one. They are a dying business and they need to wake up to that fact.

Post office layoffs of striking workers if seen as malicious by unionized workers may be dangerous for future employee goodwill that will be essential for necessary service improvements. Beatings will continue, etc, can be such a misguided management strategy, sabotaging after-dispute relations.

I would love some data. For example, current pay scales for management and workers compared to some industry baselines. What's the overhead at Canada Post like? Why did the corporate post a loss last quarter? What efforts are being made to reduce the cost base and carbon impact?

MSM has always fought collective bargaining, unions and minimum wage increases. They are the mouthpiece of the 1%. Now, more than ever. Even the #Star is turning bluer every issue. #propaganda

A good segment by the @CBC explaining the demands and the issues of meeting those demands. Does a really good job explaining both sides, also explains why Pierre Poilievre wants get rid of the CBC, it's full of facts. For the record, I support the workers! #cdnpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwrx...
