They weren't even asking for that much, it's pretty ridiculous that Canada Post leadership fought this hard to prevent people that have been there 28 years or more 2 extra weeks of vacation.

from my understanding all this does is kick the can down the road to May and Canada Post leadership is still fighting to prevent that 2 weeks of vacation

(from 3 days ago)

Amid the ongoing Canada Post strike, federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon announced Friday that he is asking the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to order workers back on the job if it agrees with his determination there is an โ€œimpasseโ€ in negotiations.

If the CIRB agrees, MacKinnon says the labour relations board would order Canada Post and all employees represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers to resume operations and extend the terms of the existing collective agreements until May 2025.

Wait, 2 whole extra weeks? How many weeks do they have now? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I believe after ten years of continuous employment anyone is entitled to 4 weeks vacation so it would mean at least 6 weeks per year, but could be more since that 4 is minimum and they could have more with their current agreement.

My mom working for the provincial government had about 8 weeks after 30 years or so before she retired.
