Not according to labor laws and if the union signed that contract I would fire the union

Temps are not employees of CanPost but of the agency that provided them

How is 40 hours a week part time? Give them their due!

With a high pressure job I used to think being a postie would be a nice change. I like dogs and walking but couldn't afford it. Pay sucks and everyone is a part timer, like, forever.

Governments are among the most prevalent users of temp and part time employees, often at greater expense.

Outsourcing is similar to P3s in that it hides the true costs from us: Shadow_Public_Service.pdf https://policyalternatives.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/National%20Office/2011/03/Shadow_Public_Service.pdf
