Canada Post workers across the country have taken a stand by walking off the job in response to failed negotiations with the Crown corporation. The Union representing these workers made the announcement on Friday, citing unresolved issues as the reason for the nationwide strike. This move has disrupted mail delivery services for Canadians, as essential workers demand fair treatment and working conditions.
The decision to go on strike comes after weeks of talks between Canada Post and the Union, with both sides unable to reach an agreement on key issues such as wages, benefits, and job security. Workers have expressed frustration with the lack of progress in negotiations, leading to their decision to take action and walk off the job.
As a result of the strike, Canadians can expect delays in receiving their mail and packages, as well as disruptions to postal services in their communities. The Union has urged Canada Post to come back to the bargaining table and work towards a resolution that is fair and equitable for its workers.
The nationwide strike by Canada Post workers highlights the ongoing challenges faced by essential workers in securing decent working conditions and fair compensation. As the strike continues, it remains to be seen how Canada Post will respond and what impact the walkout will have on mail delivery services across the country.

I fear the strike will backfire spectacularly on the workers: taxpayers are increasingly fed up with paying more for less.
Give them all a 10% wage cut and send them home
maybe management and CEOs need to stop making loads of money
Coughcough CBC comes to mind, defund them
Domestic terrorism
Supply chain disruptions call the emergency act 😂
It’s so hard to get mad with these two beautiful women telling it, but man I want my mail
My Thoughts Exactly: Well, Canada Post’s struggle to offer Canadian Union Of Postal Workers because of the employee’s matters of unresolved common issues, RSMC and urban operations was really rough. The 55,000 employees were very frustrated for a low amount of wages and some protections that is needs to be done. And waiting for the mail and parcel for the next 72 hours like this today now since it happened in 2011 and 2018 was really brutal. We never even thought that we would lose our patience for a large amount of weight due to strike.
They should be happy to have a job. Instead of being greedy
They are going the same route as cbc ! Just a money pit! Do i care ,No ! This wil be a same situation and will keep on losing money. I mean why bother . It time to shut it down and move on !!
If they strike through Christmas people will find another way to get their parcels delivered and when the strike is over they won’t go back. Not like Canada post is a great deal. They are losing money so I would imagine layoffs are coming rather than raises. I know I won’t use them since between government inefficiency and Canada post I probably won’t see my passport until June. I suppose that’s what happens when you pay upfront for a service and there’s no competition.
Do postal services around the world hold some kind of record for the number of times its employees have gone on strike? 🙂
We’ll just have to manage somehow, without flyers and other unsolicited nuisances… less stuff to put in the recycling bin…
Honestly, shut their door and let them go under. The Post Office is not viable as a business. Taxpayers are tired of all the subsidies to the likes of Via Rail, CBC, Canada Post, BDC, etc, etc. Take all these obsolete crowns off the books. Either they stand on their own feet as private businesses, or buh bye!
A FRIEND OF MINE WORKS FROM HOME FOR CANADA POST AS A CUSTOMER SERVICE IN WINNIPEG, HE MAKES 35$ PER HOUR ANSWERING A MAXIMUM OF 10 PHONE CALLS A DAY. HE SPEND MOST OF HIS DAY PLAYING VIDEO GAME WHILE GETTING PAID.
ISN'T THAT GOOD ENOUGH???
……This is a company where the management give themselves a Bonus every year for losing $ 3 Billion in the last six years and another half a billion this year. Not the workers fault. Bad management. The workers are trying to catch up on their wages. When Stephen Harper was prime minister he froze the wages for 10 years and took away some of the benefits.
And despite stealing from their workers paychecks they are still losing money. I also heard they wasted millions on electric vehicles that can only be used to deliver letters and not parcels. How stupid is that ? If I owned Canada Post I would Fire All the Management for losing Billions of dollars of taxpayer's money. These are the last people who deserve a Bonus.
And I would never hire them. As Dumb as Dumb gets. You do not give a Bonus to Reward Failure. It is so obvious they do not know what they are doing. Very Poorly Managed. …..
Time for the Federal Government to Sell Canada Post.
I say if was a privatized , it would be much more efficient….It's Rediculous how this organization operates.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is yearly issue. However, Canada post deserves it and Who the F cares .. these lazy workers want more money from a failing government 😂😂
This is not 1981. You are basically gig workers now.
This is bullsh*t
Okay how will Santa Claus get Christmas mail now 😅
Canada Post: Holding people's mail hostage until they get their own way. Very childish.
. i always pay my bills in person . and still use the post office when i need to mail something . the strike will not change my habbits and go online .
people hates the mailman til they need something in the mail or complain about high shipping fees for delivering a paper when CP doesnt exist anymore.
I’m sick of these government employees complaining about money. They already get paid way more than most people and and when we complain we get shut up when government employees complain it’s national news.
Guess my friends and family aren’t getting their presents this year. Thanks Canada Post.
I feel for the small businesses that I’ll be avoiding purchasing from next Christmas in favour of Amazon. At least I know Prime isn’t striking anytime soon.
The quality of service at Canada-Post is on questioning ! I have lost 3 packages sent by Canada Post within 2 months. Either Canada-Post has many thieves or many of their workers do not work properly but they still want money , money, money ….
Omg ridiculous you make enough stop being greedy!
I already ordered presents online earlier this month. And today I hear about this. Dang.
First the LCBO just as cottage country season was hitting now Canada Post before Christmas? Why do we even have either of your services if you're gonna be down when we need you most you're pathetic America soon gonna take over this country and occupy it and turn it to a communism and you guys are complaining about a few extra dollars
No coverage on Canada post here
In Regina Saskatchewan
Aah about immigration
Whatever
Canada Post in every city should get coverage over immigration crap
no mail but no junk mail either
canada post should close down for good. distribute people into health care sector. renovate their estate to health care facility. spin off parts of business to delivery company. at e commerce time canada post lost their historical function.
Bunch of cry babies demanding more money around Christmas time that's undeserving.
