Won think this is too drastic? It seems the only alternative we have to limping along with a postal system that the word "rotten" inadequately descrthes. _ _ __ _ _ Yoottinksomethingatrbigandimportantaathepostal non-system should be controlled by the government? Hog- wash! Anyone with ears to hearor eyes to read knows that government is notably inefficient as an employer. Let's look at one example. We have two transcontinental railways. CPR, privately owned, has shown a thumping profit year after year. The CNR, government owned, highly subsidized, is always in the red. _ You think I'm a little hot today? You’re right. Postal strikes have cost me considerable, in terms of anxiety and cash. And I'm only a little frog. Imagine what the lousy service is doing to slow down and thwart large companies, which hire hundreds of thousands. 7 7A5 I write, postal employees in Toronto are not working, while mail piles up in therar?ds_ot tons. .. .. .. Why ure' hwy Gt working? Because they won’t cross the picket lines of another, comparatively small union that is on strike. And get this. The Post Office gave its non-working em- ployees leave of absence without pay. They were not fired. And those employees have the unbelievable gall to talk of suing the post office because they are not drawing their pay when they are not working, even though they are not on strike. Can you figure that out? It makes my head reel. This week, I seni a letter "special delivery." It cost me 48 cents in postage. To make me expend such a sum, the letter had to be mighty important. It's sitting in a post office, unsorted, in which the employees are NOT on strike. I've'had enough. Who'll join the? And in closing, may I add that I don‘t put the blame on the postal union, not all of it. These people are human and will reach for all they can get.
