Canada Post has responded to a strike threat from its postal workers by delivering a lockout notice to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW).

The Nov. 12 notice from Canada Post indicates postal workers will be locked out as of 8 a.m. on Nov. 15 unless agreements are reached with the union’s urban and rural workers, CUPW said in a press release.
