The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has issued a 72 hour strike notice and will now be in a legal position to strike as of November 15th.
Should no settlement be reached by the deadline, strike action could take place though the National Executive Board has not yet determined whether job action will take place right away and instead will fall on Canada Post’s actions at the bargaining table.
The union says after a year of bargaining the parties are still apart of many issues.
The union has been fighting for wage increases in line with inflation, improving staffing provisions, add 10 paid medial days and to have paid meal and rest periods for workers.
