55,000 Canadian postal employees are on strike over unpaid wages.

55,000 Canadian postal employees are on strike over unpaid wages.

Following the failure of year-long negotiations with Canada Post, 55,000 postal workers nationwide went on strike today, bringing Canada's postal network to a complete stop.

Delivery delays before the holidays are caused by the strike, which stops all mail and parcel processing.

While private courier services continue to operate, Canada Post issued a warning about persistent delays even after the strike is over.


The union rejects Canada Post's 11.5% offer and demands a 7-day delivery schedule, along with a 22% wage increase over four years, paid medical leave, and improved health coverage.
