Canada Post is facing another potential strike
Canada Post employees could strike again after existing union contracts expire on May 22, 2025, potentially halting postal services in Montreal and beyond.
This possible strike follows a 32-day walkout in November and December 2024, caused by stalled contract negotiations that broke off in March despite mediator support.
One employee, Chantelle Lucyshyn, diagnosed with cancer during the strike, highlights struggles with disability claims amid the labor dispute and ongoing chemotherapy.
Lucyshyn said, "It's definitely a battle," as her short-term disability claim was initially denied but later approved, while long-term disability remains blocked.
If a strike occurs, it would be the second postal shutdown in under six months, raising concerns about Canada Post's finances and reduced union leverage after the holiday peak.
