Canada post strike looms in our future

I'm not sure what the people who work for Canada post are thinking with a mail strike. I'm not sure why they aren't aware that with the internet postal services days are numbered.

Sure we may always have a need to send things from one location to the next, but often we use couriers instead of the mail. So by striking the employees of Canada post are more likely to be shooting themselves in the foot, then helping their cause.A mail strike will cause businesses to use couriers for their needs and there is no guarantee once the strike is over that they will go back to using Canada post.

From what I've read Canada post calls the union of it's employees out of touch with the realities of the postal service. Business has dropped 17% since 2006.
