Saskatoon, Weyburn and Moose Jaw locals walked off job Tuesday morning
Members of three Saskatchewan postal worker locals walked off the job Tuesday morning between 6 and 8 a.m. CST.
Saskatoon, Weyburn and Moose Jaw joined the list of members of Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) who are on strike.
CUPW national president Mike Palecek said in a news release that contract offers proposed to the union do not address any major issues.
