Canada Post Strike Enters Second Week With No Resolution Thus Far

The Canada Post strike is now in its second week, with no sign of a deal being reached. The strike, which started on November 15, has caused delays in mail and parcel deliveries across Canada. Talks between Canada Post and the postal workers’ union continued over the weekend, but both sides admit there hasn’t been much progress. The union is fighting for better pay, job security, and fair treatment for workers, while Canada Post is pushing for changes like weekend deliveries and more flexible work schedules.

The union has also raised concerns about Canada Post hiring cleaning staff as full-time employees, saying this shift takes focus away from addressing the needs of postal workers. Another sticking point is Canada Post’s plan to reduce pay and benefits for future hires, which the union believes will hurt workers over time.

Canada Post, facing over $3 billion in losses since 2018, says these changes are necessary for the company’s survival. Both sides say they want to reach an agreement, but for now, mail and package disruptions are set to continue.
