Canada Post employees are in a strike position as of Friday, May 23rd. They have opted to “work to rule” but a full strike or another lock-out by the company would halt all mail and parcel delivery across the country. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers, which represents 55,000 of the service’s employees, says if there is no progress on a new collective agreement, its members will walk off the job.
