Canada Post Labour Dispute: Ensuring Your Deliveries Amid Potential Rotating Strikes
As of Friday, November 15, 2024, at 12:01 a.m., both the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and Canada Post Corporation are legally positioned to initiate a strike or lockout, respectively. The union has indicated that, if a strike occurs, it will likely take the form of rotating strikes.
Understanding Rotating Strikes
Rotating strikes involve targeted, short-term work stoppages in specific regions or facilities, while other areas continue operations. This approach aims to minimize nationwide disruption but can still lead to localized delays in mail and parcel deliveries.
Potential Impact on Deliveries
During rotating strikes, customers may experience intermittent delays, particularly in areas directly affected by the strikes. Given the unpredictability of these actions, it's important to stay informed about the status of your shipments.
