Calgary and Edmonton to Strike Tonight
This evening, at midnight local time, Victoria B.C. and Moncton N.B. will return to work. Tonight, Calgary will commence strike action at 9:00 p.m. local time and Edmonton will join them at 10:00 p.m. local time. The job actions in both cities will last 24 hours.
These locations were chosen to highlight the adverse impact on postal service resulting from inadequate staffing. Both cities have experienced service problems as routes have not been delivered due to staff shortages, and postal workers have been required to perform forced overtime.
