Open letter to the president of the Canada Post union, Jan Simpson

You lost me, and many others whome I've spoken to, as loyal Canada Post clients.

I've run a small business for 19 years now, and you used me as a pawn with total disregard for my business and my customers.

The amount of problems you caused by striking at a time when small businesses needed Canada Post the most is simply selfish and dumb.

You forced me to look elsewhere for shipping services, and I thank you for that, since I found an agent for all the other carriers, and I'm staying with them from now on.

The least you could have done, if you cared about YOUR CUSTOMERS, it to strike but process the packages that were already in the system, instead of holding them hostage for your own purposes.

If you think Canada Post had a problem affording your functionary employees before, wait until you see how revenue goes down now that a lot of us are going elsewhere.

Good job. You should be fired.
