ATTN: TopBucks CANADIAN Webmasters
 

We will be sending a newsletter as well, but hoping everyone sees it.

The Canadian Postal Workers are expected to strike just before midnight tonight if negotiations in contract talks fail. Because of this situation, we suggest that Canadian webmasters who receive their payout via check by mail, login and change to an alternate payout method by 12:00 PM MST tomorrow. We will lower the minimum check payout to $100 for this payout period only.

If you have any questions, please feel free to hit myself, Nadya or Sly up.

These bastards are always going on strike up here. Around every decade it seems. $25/Hr is not enough to have a job carrying mail I guess. neither is 6 weeks paid vacation a year for longer term employees and benefits out the yazoo. It's not like they are people saving lives. they are a labor sector lol

Don't dare pass any picket lines fellow Canadians. Unless you don't mind a trip to the ER. They get violent up here heh.

That's a very considerate offer. Kudos to Topbucks :thumbsup

Send all the wires here, i will make sure i distribute them ;-))

Postal unions in Canada have more drama than Broadway.

Averting problems before they arise? Nice job!

Yeah, have to give mad props to the CFO who thought about this and came up with a solution preemptively.

She's got quite the fashion sense with that shoulder bag eh? Today she's sitting in on a private fashion show as our producer Matt saunters sexily around in a halter top and Yoga pants...And...she's searching Google images for the perfect "Hi-Tech" looking female fashion-forward smart ensemble.

Just another day at the TopBucks/Pink Visual offices...

those were the HOT bags to get at the show, they ran out of them :1orglaugh

I just seen on the news that they are doing daily rolling strikes in cities . First one is tomorrow in winnipeg. I effen hate unions!!!

they dont really have a reason to strike...they only work a few hours a day most of them

I got most of my money from canada :( fuck fuck fuck...............................

Nice to see a company taking steps to deal with a situation before it causes issues.

and even with those few hours, they still can't deliver to the correct houses...

Did they go on strike at midnight?? I am in US so no one knows, but I am fucked from this :( What canadian sites would i look for to see this news?

Damn, not good news! Everything in my life is bad news these days.

I wish other programs were this proactive. Props to Topbucks!
