OTTAWA – The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says it has given strike notice to Canada Post that workers could walk off the job as early as next week.
The union representing 50,000 Canada Post employees says rotating strikes will begin Monday if agreements aren’t reached with the Urban Postal Operations and Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers bargaining units.
It says it’s pushing for improved job security, an end to forced overtime, and better health and safety measures.

Locations of the rotating strikes have yet to be determined.
The possibility of a work stoppage has hovered over Canada Post since Sept. 26 after postal workers voted overwhelmingly in late summer in support of a potential walkout to back their contract demands.

Hope this gets sorted out as quick as possible. I hate strikes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think for now if its a rotating strike, the mail will still get there, maybe a day or two late. However down the line if Canada Post decides to lock them out, then the mail will stop completely.

this has nothing to do with that other "pot thread" and the fact that in Ontario: Online mail orders will be the only legal way to purchase it until next spring.
