STRIKE! Canada Post Hit By Rotating Walkouts As Holidays Begin

CUPW begins strikes in several Ontario locations, continues in Kelowna
Posted on Nov. 20, 2018 by Canada Post in Customer Alerts

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has started strikes in Ontario in Woodstock, St. Thomas, Chatham and at three delivery facilities in Scarborough (Markham, Richmond Hill Main and West Beaver Creek). Strikes also continue in Kelowna, B.C., and have ended in Kitchener, Ont.

The strikes are now into their fifth week and have touched virtually every Canada Post facility and every Canadian address so far.

The postal service remains operational, but Canada Post has advised commercial customers that it is not able to honour its delivery standards for any product because of prolonged and ongoing rotating strikes. The strikes have created massive backlogs of mail and parcels already in our network, just days before we expect millions more parcels from Black Friday and Cyber Monday online sales.

While there will be delays across the country, Canada Post expects the worst delays for mail and parcels will be for items that originate or are destined for southern and southwestern Ontario.

Just in time for the holidays, the Canada Post strike drags on with rotating walkouts slowing or stopping service.

“Canada Post has been working hard to maintain service to Canadians, but Toronto is a key processing hub for mail and parcels in Canada,” according to Canada Post. “The union’s rotating strikes will therefore have a significant impact on our operations and cause further backlogs of trailers. Canada Post will make every effort to minimize the impact, but customers across the country will continue to see delays for parcel and mail delivery.”

CUPW shuts down most of Manitoba, continues strikes in Victoria, Edmonton, Ontario and New Brunswick

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) began strikes on Friday in the main cities of Manitoba: Winnipeg (except the processing plant), Brandon, Portage la Prairie, The Pas, Dauphin, Flin Flon and Thompson. Strikes also started Friday in Edmonton, Alta. and in Port Hope, Orangeville and Markham, Ont. Strikes also continue in Victoria (B.C.), Moncton and Saint John, N.B., and in one letter carrier depot in downtown Toronto.
Meanwhile, strikes have ended in Montreal, St. John’s, and in other locations in Ontario.
The strikes are now into their fourth week and have touched virtually every Canada Post facility and every Canadian address so far.

Canada Post has been working hard to minimize the service impact to Canadians, but the union’s strikes continue to cause unprecedented backlogs in our delivery network. As a result, customers could see delays of several days.

Canada Post suspends its service delivery guarantees due to delays caused by the union’s escalating rotating strikes

Unfortunately, the growing impact of the union’s rotating strikes on postal operations across the country means Canada Post must suspend its service delivery guarantees until further notice.

We will continue to make best efforts to deliver, but the union’s strike efforts have caused significant backlogs and delays throughout our network. As of today, our major processing centre in Vancouver was shut down from Friday evening to Tuesday morning and Toronto is now shut down, significantly impacting our ability to process mail and parcels. In Toronto alone, more than 180 trailers full of parcels, packets and mail sit idle as the union shuts down the facility for a third time in less than a month. Striking to shut down a processing facility not only impacts our operations at that location, it chokes the flow of mail and parcels to our delivery facilities.
