Canada Post strikes being held Friday in Sudbury, Ont., and Saint John, N.B.
OTTAWA — Canada Post employees were to shift their rotating strikes Friday into Sudbury, Ont., and Saint John, N.B., just after midnight.
The job action followed walkouts Thursday in Sherbrooke, Que., Calgary, Red Deer, Alta., and Kelowna, B.C., that were all to end after one day.
Nearly 9,000 members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers walked out earlier this week in the Greater Toronto Area as part of rotating strikes to back contract demands.
The job action at the giant gateway parcel facility in Mississauga, Ont., which processes roughly two-thirds of all parcels mailed in Canada, and the south central mail plant in the Toronto’s east end, forced delays in shipments of tens of thousands of letters and parcels across the country.
