Canada Post workers may begin striking at midnight Friday if new contract agreements are not reached, potentially causing widespread delivery delays. The government-owned carrier announced possible national or rotating strikes, which could halt all mail service or cause regional disruptions. A previous strike caused major losses for small businesses reliant on Canada Post, with industry representatives urging both parties to resolve differences.

Key Takeaways:

  • Strike Threatens Delivery: Customers could experience delays or stoppages in mail and parcel delivery.

  • Union Concerns: CUPW is concerned about possible changes to working conditions and benefits.

  • Business Impact: Small businesses risk significant financial losses if the strike proceeds.
