POSTAL WORKERS' UNION CALLING THE SHOTS

   Striking Canada Post workers will not get to vote on a pair of offers put forward by the Crown corporation this week before the deadline on them expires because the union representing striking postal workers will not take the latest offers to the membership for a vote amid mounting pressure on the government to intervene.
    That $650-million offer includes a four-year contract, annual two-per-cent wage hikes, signing bonuses of up to $1,000 per employee, more job security and a $10-million health and safety fund for workers.
    But the union says the offer still isn’t good enough and fails to prevent those working less than 12 hours a week or those who have been working for less than 10 years from being laid off.
