Canada Post Workers Launch Nationwide Strike Amid Major Delivery Reforms

In Canada, postal workers have initiated a nationwide strike in response to government mandates aimed at reforming the Canada Post service. The government has ordered an end to door-to-door mail delivery, prompting widespread protests from postal workers and concerns from the public about the impacts on mail services, including delays in receiving essential documents like passports and cheques. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has expressed deep dissatisfaction with the changes, which will affect many residents, particularly seniors and those in rural areas. Business groups have warned of a significant adverse impact due to service disruptions. The strike reflects a larger struggle as the government seeks to revamp Canada Post to ensure its viability, while workers fight against potential job losses and service reductions.
