Mod Post - Canada Post Strike
Hi Comm Members,
We have decided, as a moderation team, that it is in our best interest to inform you of the Canada Post issue that is quickly arising.
As of Tuesday, Canada Post has issued a 72-hour notice to CUPW (Canadian Union of Postal Workers). The notice doesn't necessarily mean that Canada Post will not be operating on Friday July 8th, however please keep reading. It is teaking necessary measures to changing the business. It is doing so by changing the terms & conditions of employment for all employees represented by the union, on Friday.
In the event of a full labour disruption, Canada Post will not operate. Mail & parcels will not be delivered & no new items will be accepted. Parcels in the system will be secured & stored. Once operations resume, those parcels currently in the system will be delivered as quickly as possible.
canadapost.ca/update will have all information regarding updates to this matter.
If you are currently a Canadian selling items, perhaps it is in your best interest to hold off until after Friday (if something happens).
If you have recently purchased something from a Canadian, do not hold this against the seller. Unfortunately there is nothing any of us can really do at this point but wait it out.
Thanks everyone for reading & feel free to discuss!
