Mail delivery has come to a halt after the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) walked off the job on Sept. 25 in response to the federal government’s plans to change how Canada Post operates.
The latest postal strikes comes after Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement Minister Joël Lightbound announced during a Sept. 25 press conference that Canada Post will transition from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes for 4 million additional addresses as Ottawa looks for ways to resolve the Crown corporation’s “existential crisis.”
