Canada Post workers could be off the job later this week

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has issued strike notice, with workers set to start job action on Friday at 12:00 am local time.

Canada Post says in the event of CUPW initiating rotating strike activity, they intend to continue delivering in unaffected areas while working to reach negotiated agreements. However, customers may experience delays.

The union represents approximately 55,000 postal workers across the country.

In the event of a national labour disruption, mail and parcels will not be delivered, and now new items will be accepted until the disruption is over. All mail in the network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible when operations resume.

Canada Post and CUPW have agreed to continue the delivery of socio-economic cheques during any labour disruption, for eligible and participating government organizations.
