The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has gone on strike following Thursday’s government announcement of sweeping service cutbacks. Canada Post’s operations will shut down for the duration of the strike; mail and parcels will not be processed or delivered. Canada Post promises, “All mail and parcels in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible once operations resume.“
The strike will affect twelve Postal Collage groups:
1—28—38—40—41—42—43—44—45—48—49—92
The Postal Collage schedule is generous and forgiving, designed to accommodate long-distance deliveries plus any number of unanticipated delays.
Last year, there was a Canada Post strike between November 15 and December 17. It was disruptive and a cause for concern, but I think the affected groups were able to wait it out and complete the project without lasting impact.
Big thanks to the twelve groups for your patience. Here’s hoping…
