The postal workers' strike in Canada, which began on November 15 local time,has lasted for three weeks.Currently, there are no signs of the strike ending, and as Canada Post begins to lay off employees during the strike and negotiations,this rare strike seems to have no end in sight.As a result,the large-scale stagnation and return of express packages has become increasingly severe!
Nationwide, more than55,000 postal workers are still striking,resulting in over 10 million packages being backlogged.It is reported that on November 27 local time, Canadian Labor Minister Steven MacKinnon announced via social media that the differences between Canada Post and the union on 'key issues are too great,'
making it impossible to reach an agreement and end the strike.MacKinnon also announced that the special federal mediator has temporarily suspended mediation. MacKinnon stated, 'The suspension of mediation activities is expected to allow both parties to reassess their positions and return to the negotiating table with renewed determination.'
Worse still,
on November 28 local time, the union representing Canadian postal workers stated in a notice sent to members that since the postal workers' strike began,Canada Post has been laying off striking employees.The union's notice described the layoffs as a 'intimidation tactic' and stated that it is investigating the matter.A spokesperson for Canada Post confirmed the layoffs but stated that they are temporary. The spokesperson indicated that the organization has informed employees that
the collective agreement is no longer valid,and Canada Post has now adjusted its operations according to the Canada Labor Code.Canadian labor and employment lawyer Deborah Hudson stated that Canada Post's layoff measures are likely to face legal backlash from the union.
This postal strike in Canada is more severe than previously anticipated by the industry, and Canada Post has also issued a warning on its official website stating that the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has begun a nationwide strike,and Canada Post's operations will be closed during the national strike,resulting in delays for customers.
In a recent announcement from Canada Post, the company revealed the significant difficulties it is facing: Canada Post has accumulated losses of over $3 billion since 2018,and in the recently concluded third quarter of 2024,the company reported a pre-tax loss of $315 million.
Canada Post stated in the announcement that it seeks to reach an agreement through negotiations to allow all employees to focus on the future while not increasing new fixed costs, which would hinder its competitiveness.It is worth noting that as the postal workers' strike continues and the impact worsens, the effect on domestic express packages in Canada is also deteriorating,and due to the lack of hope for a short-term end to the strike, some logistics companies have begun to arrange for the return of express packages.During this period, other express logistics companies have also been affected,
with many express services shifting to companies like UPS and FedEx,
resulting in a significant increase in the pressure on UPS warehouses for receiving and delivering.Currently, UPS has suspended pick-up services in the Vancouver and Calgary areas,
and is no longer accepting direct truck deliveries to UPS service points.The breakdown of negotiations, the backlog of packages,and the upcoming shopping peak,together constitute an unprecedented challenge for Canada Post. The ultimate outcome of this labor dispute will not only directly affect the shopping experience of Canadian consumers but will also have a profound impact on businesses and the postal system!，同时不再接收卡车直接送货至 UPS 服务站点。
谈判的破裂、包裹的积压以及即将到来的购物高峰共同构成了加拿大邮政面临的前所未有的挑战。这场劳资纠纷的最终走向不仅将直接关乎加拿大消费者的购物体验，更将对企业和邮政系统产生深远影响!
