Canada Post has a history of troubled labour relations with its trade unions, particularly the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and the Letter Carrier's Union of Canada (which merged with CUPW in 1989) culminating in periodic strike action which has brought mail service in Canada to a halt. There have been at least 19 strikes and walkouts between 1965 and 2005 including several wildcat strikes. A number of these strikes have seen the corporation employ strike breakers and most, since the 1970s, have resulted in back-to-work legis ...

The Post Office Rifles first came into being after 1,600 Post Office staff were enrolled as Special Constables under Major John Lowther du Plat Taylor of the 21st Middlesex Civil Service Volunteers (Post Office Company). This was done in response to explosions in London and Manchester and disturbances elsewhere that were staged in 1867, in the name of Irish independence. Once the original threat of violence had passed, it was proposed that the Special Constables who were willing should form a permanent volunteer regiment. On Fe ...

In 1980, the Columbia Journalism Review called the Post "a force for evil." Many in mainstream journalism seem to feel that the Post allows its editorial positions to shape its story selection and news coverage to an unacceptable degree. As Steven D. Cuozzo, the Post executive editor, sees it, it was the Post that "broke the elitist media stranglehold on the national agenda." Post supporters cite a series of recent scandals at the supposedly-reputable broadsheet New York Times as proof that this pr ...

Doctors arrive at a diagnosis of PPS by observing the patient and asking about symptoms, and by excluding other disorders. PPS may be difficult to diagnose in some because it is hard to determine what component of a neuromuscular deficit is old and what is new. Health professionals say that the only way to be sure a person has PPS is through a neurological examination aided by other laboratory studies that exclude all other possible diagnoses. Patients must visit the doctor periodically to est ...

Something more was needed, otherwise law would create a slippery slope.

The first sorting of mail en route in the U.S.A. was in 1862 between Hannibal, Missouri, and St. Joseph, Missouri. Its purpose was to separate mail for connection with a westbound stage departing soon after the train's arrival at St. Joseph. This service lasted approximately one year. The first permanent Railway Post Office route was established on August 28, 1864, between Chicago, Illinois, and Clinton, Iowa. This service is distinguished from the 1862 operation because mail was sorted to and received from each post office along the route, as well as ma ...

The paper is also known for its sports section, which has been praised for its comprehensiveness; it begins on the back page. Many readers who have no use for its editorial positions or its hard news stories purchase it for its sports coverage alone. The New York Post is also well known for its gossip columnists Liz Smith, Cindy Adams and Elisa Lipsky-Karasz. The best known gossip section is 'Page Six', edited by Richard Johnson, which counterintuitively never runs on page six of the paper each day. It is reported that "Page Six" is the first ...
