    Canadian Shipments Suspended

    I posted this on the home page too.....but I figured it needed to be here as well. I was just informed by my friends at the Post Office that because of the strike underway in Canada Post, the US Postal Service is no longer accepting ANY First-Class or Priority shipments to Canada. Because of this, the only shipping option the USPS will accept to Canada is Global Express (which will be VERY expensive). Due to this, I will not accept any further Canadian orders until their strike is resolved. If you have a Canadian shipping address and place an order, your order will be cancelled. I am very sorry about this, but it is completely out of my hands!

    Re: Canadian Shipments Suspended

    America, this is what will come to you if you do not learn from the mistake that is Canadian Socialism. No mail for a week now... Ridiculous.
    "We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

      I just got word that the strike is supposed to end Saturday, so if that's true, Canada may be back in business!

        WTF? It's a union strike/lockout situation, doesn't that happen in the U.S. too? Blame the unions not "Canadian Socialism"

          Certain government employees should not......and cannot strike.
          Remember the air traffic controllers during the Reagan addministration.
          Some government jobs are so important to our countries commerce, we cannot afford to allow strikes.
          Those are the rules....don't like it......don't take the job.

            USPS is union as well, but they are forbidden to strike, just to avoid this kind of thing....so we're good.

              i can't strike either.
              its a good thing...the union that represents us is as crooked as the other unions. i say to hell with unions.

                my dad used to be high ranking in one of the indiana state employee unions... until mitch daniels canned it in 2005. ironically (or not), it was not long after that my dad's job really went down the shitter... they were not crooked or anything... not like the steel unions my dad said no to back in the 70's (he was in high school and had to join to avoid getting his ass kicked). granted the state unions could not strike, but they did do a lot of good. as a kid, I remember going to a union rally in Indianapolis and marching at the statehouse when they tried to scam the employees out of half of their retirement benefits without negotiating. after the rally, the state "changed their mind " (i wonder why...).

                my dad's hard learned 3 rules of employment:

                rule #1. be careful of internships, as the provided training might make you exempt fromthe fair labor standards act.
                2. do not accept a job where your job descripion includes "other duties as assinged" and you are salaried.
                3. if you do not follow #2, make sure you are union member if the option is there.

                what went wrong:

                well, once the union was killed, they began "assigning" my dad (a dietitian) other duties. like writing menus for the wholw facility (they fired the doer of that job), doing the work of the other employee when she quit, playing mediator with unruly patients, etc. what resulted was him working 60 hours a week for 35.5 hour's pay... he also was assigned dish washing duty on a recently operated on foot (it resulted in a painful recovery). he was a salary slave (we give you $x and you be our bitch). a "do more" whore.

                there really are 2 sides to the issue... although essential gov't should not be allowed to do a full strike.

                    It's over, yo. Backlog should be bearable by Wednesday and the system should be fully back to normal by Friday.

                    That was close. It was scaring off all my online customers and I lost 3/4 of all my monthly sales. It nearly bankrupted me because my paychecks were so ass.
