I don't see what they have to strike over.
Comparing the postal service in Michigan to the service here in Ontario is like comparing a Yugo to a Ferrari.
In Michigan, mail is delivered 6 days a week, takes two days to reach from any part of the state to any other part and most neighboring states, and is usually delivered by mid afternoon.
To contrast this, Ontario mail is delivered 5 days a week (although there seems to be at least one day a week where nobody on my block gets mail), takes an average of 7 days to reach from one part of the province to another, and sometimes arrives after I'm home from work in the evening.
The only negative part of the mail in Michigan is that's where the term "going postal" originated.
All in all, I am incredibly disappointed with the mail service here in Ontario but I also realize that it could be much worse.
If they want to strike, first they should provide a decent service and prove that they are worth what they're asking for.
