Dear Editor: Canada Post is about to strike again. Remember all those newspaper ads promising "better service for rural Canadians?" Canadians?" Well, 'better service* service* Canada-Post style, apparently, apparently, means something far different than we as postmasters are accustomed to providing. Starting in September, hours at many post offices in small Ontario communities will be cut back for the sake of 'standardization.' In truth, this means some offices will be ordered to open at 8:00 a.m., and will lock their doors at 5 o'clock. All offices won't be permitted permitted to start business on Saturday until 9 o'clock and close at noon. In a few cases, standardization means adding adding 15 or 30 minutes to a post offices's hours of operation, operation, but for the most part, we're being cut back at crucial crucial times when many customers customers now do their postal business. As postmasters and assistants, assistants, we are strongly op- E osed to these cut-backs in ours, just as we opposed the noon-hour closures which Canada Post imposed on many mid-sized and smaller rural post offices in Southwestern Ontario the past year, and in Northern and Eastern Ontario now. We have served rural Canada to the best of our. ability for the past 90 years as members of the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association. We certainly don't like being undermined by a postal postal corporation bent on privatization privatization at any cost, particularly particularly when it inconveniences our customers. customers. We ask readers of this newspaper to consult your postmaster for the reduction in hours planned for your post office. Please call your Member of Parliament to register your opposition to this move by Canada Post. Tell your reeve or local town councillor you think "better service' means longer, longer, not shorter, hours. 4 fi El let Canada you feel ' for Above all.
