—@canadapostcorpWindsor was one of the first cities to be hit with the work stoppage when the 24-hour strikes began Oct. 22 at 12:01 a.m. ET.
Contract negotiations between Canada Post and CUPW began in November 2017, with mediated talks starting in January. Workers voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike in late summer after talks stalled.
Key demands for the 50,000 union members revolve around job security, ending forced overtime, health and safety improvements and equality for rural and suburban mail carriers.
