Strike Is Off!!!

Assuming this if correct and final, should I go ahead and ship out the Star Tours loot to ya' Dale (and Bob)?!?  LMK, and I'll fire 'em off muy pronto!

I'd say your 99.99% safe to do so Matt, but you better wait for Dale and Bob's official word.

So the whole Canadian Postal strike issue is completely over-and-done with?  If so, that's great news for us all!

The next 72 hrs will tell us if it's over with. They still have to setlle the contract so lets just hang on a few more days.  

Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers agree on framework for settlement

They just have to dot the I's and cross the T's. It's over.

Both sides have realized that people can live without the post office just fine. If they were to go on a long strike, consumers would learn that Fed EX or UPS can ship packages, and instead of letters they will eventually all use PC's for email.

The post office is a dinosaur, and is not too far from extinction.

If a strike happens, more people will loose faith in  this dying system. Too much loss in it for both parties, not too get a deal done

Just look at our good buddies at MLB.

I just heard that Canada Post and CUPW will probably
sign a deal very shortly. I hope so, it's driving me nuts...

It's finally over. No Strike!
