More than $3 billion in losses and a strike by Canada Postal workers will delay deliveries
Tens of thousands of postal workers across Canada began a three-day strike Wednesday to demand higher wages and better working conditions, bringing operations at Canada Post to a complete halt.
The CUPW said in a press release that "after a year of fruitless negotiations, postal employees have made the difficult decision to strike".
Sungreen Logistics has learned that the postal service has lost more than $3 billion since 2018, and this is not the first time that Canada Post has had a work stoppage; union members went on rotating strikes in 2018 and 2011, and Canada Post also closed staff positions during the latter strike.
Mail deliveries alone reached 296 million last year, up 3.7 percent from 2022. It's just that Canada Post is still losing ground in the parcel market, with its market share dropping from 62 per cent in 2019 to 29 per cent in 2023.
Canada Post warned in a statement Friday that "strike activity will cause customers to experience delays," affecting millions of Canadians and businesses. Services in remote and northern areas that rely on Canada Post for delivery will be shut down.
