The Canadian Union of Postal Workers will be delivering mail again, after walking off the job in late September.
the union will be moving to rotating walkouts starting tomorrow (Saturday), allowing mail to be delivered on a fairly consistent basis.
Local CUPW 812 President Nicole Chouinard said there’s no schedule as to when those walkouts will happen.
“We won’t know well in advance, so it’ll kind of be a day of situation, but for the most part, customers can start expecting to see their letter mail and parcels at their doors again.”
Chouinard said the change was made as employees on strike had been taking a financial hit, and were needing a way to fight back against the employer without making people go to the food bank.
The union met with Minister Lightbound the other day, who had promised he’d review what they had discussed, but Chouinard said where that will lead is anyone’s guess.
She added they don’t have high hopes when dealing with the federal government and Canada Post, with a lack of optimism with both parties meeting at the bargaining table anytime soon.
