US EditionPostal worker union to replace nationwide walkout with rotating strikes: CUPW president
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers will begin rotating regional strikes Saturday to resume partial mail service after a month-long nationwide shutdown that disrupted retail and parcel deliveries.
- On October 11, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers will transition from a countrywide shutdown to rotating regional strikes starting at 6 a.m. local time.
- Federal reforms to Canada Post, including reduced delivery frequency and phasing out door-to-door delivery, prompted the strike after talks with Joël Lightbound, federal minister responsible for Canada Post, failed.
- The nationwide stoppage halted mail and parcel deliveries, disrupting shipments including flyer mail, and the Retail Council of Canada warns the shutdown inflicts widespread economic damage.
- Canada Post welcomed the union's shift amid financial challenges, while CUPW called government changes an overstep and a followup meeting with Joël Lightbound is scheduled next week.
- With the holiday season underway, the Retail Council of Canada says many retailers have canceled flyer campaigns, pushing retailers and small businesses toward digital advertising and private delivery alternatives.
