RECAP | Postal workers back on nationwide strike over Canada Post reform

The union representing Canada Post workers says its members will be on nationwide strike in the next 24 hours, describing the situation as ‘fluid.'

Postal workers are going back on strike after the federal government told Canada Post to make some major changes, like stopping door-to-door deliveries and closing some rural post offices.The minister in charge of Canada Post’s mandate said the shift needs to happen if the mail carrier is going to stay in business.The union disagreed, saying the plan left members “outraged and appalled.”Canada Post welcomed the government’s move, but has not commented since workers walked back off the job.
