Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon is sending the labour dispute between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) to the Canada Industrial Relations Board.

MacKinnon said Friday that if the board determines negotiations between the parties are at an impasse, it has been directed to order striking CUPW members back to work under the existing collective agreement until May 22, 2025.

Back to work orders need to be paired with firing the entire leadership for failing to negotiate if it's a crown corp or government entity, or crippling fines if it's a private company. The way things have been going there's absolutely no incentive for an "essential service" employer to negotiate at all, let alone in good faith.

And in case there are any small time CEOs reading this, you could argue the status quo is unfair to any business that isn't massive enough for the government to step in.

Biden ordered rail workers back to work but some basic concessions...

Still an L in my book. Labor has no power.

I'm okay with that, at least it's a lose-lose situation.
