‘Canada Post Is in an Existential Crisis’: Canadians Brace for Another Postal Service Shutdown
- On Monday, the union representing over 55,000 Canada Post employees announced a strike warning, signaling a possible work stoppage beginning at midnight on Friday.
- This strike follows unresolved disagreements and a 32-day work stoppage last November that disrupted mail and parcel delivery during peak season.
- Canada Post faces deep financial losses, including $845 million in 2023, with a federally commissioned report recommending foundational changes to address declining mail volumes and competition.
- Spokesperson Jon Hamilton described the situation as an "existential crisis" and warned that another strike will "scare away more customers," while union president Wycliffe Oduor opposes proposed weekend shifts and part-time increases.
- The strike threatens to disrupt the daily delivery of millions of letters and parcels, exacerbating challenges for businesses and urgent shipments, and underscoring the importance of reaching a negotiated agreement.
