Canada Post Strike Halts Nationwide Mail Services

Postal workers demand better wages and working conditions as holiday season approaches.

Over 55,000 Canada Post employees have initiated a three-day strike, disrupting mail and parcel deliveries across the country.
Key issues in the negotiations include wage increases, workplace safety, and opposition to part-time weekend parcel deliveries.
The strike comes as Canada Post faces financial challenges, with significant losses since 2018 and competition from private couriers.
The federal government has appointed a special mediator to assist in negotiations, but no progress has been reported on major issues.
Essential services like government benefit cheques will still be delivered during the strike, but other mail services are suspended.
