Canada Post has been served a strike notice by the union representing over 55,000 postal workers, raising the likelihood of a nationwide service disruption by the end of the week — the second such shutdown in the past six months.
According to the Crown corporation, the union has notified management that workers intend to begin strike action at midnight on Friday.
A potential work stoppage would disrupt mail and parcel delivery for millions of Canadians and businesses, who rely on the postal service for over two billion letters and approximately 300 million packages annually.
