They screw up delivering mail...

...and that's got your name & address on it... you really want the local postie wiping grannie's butt?
-- OTTAWA -- If the Canadian Union of Postal Workers had its way, letter carriers would add social work and library duties to their responsibilities.
I dunno how it worked where you lived, but in the small Ontario town I grew up in... the Post Office was where all the high school stoner burnouts ended up after they packed in grade 10.
The union fears Canada Post will eliminate 7,000 jobs by contracting out services and putting in new mail processing machines that are more accurate and work faster.
Accurate & faster... yeah, we sure as shit don't want any of that.
