Yep, it’s true Canada post has given strike notice for midnight Thursday. Here’s the article, in it’s entirety
OTTAWA – The union representing urban workers at Canada Post has given the Crown corporation an ultimatum — accept its final offer before Thursday night, or face a strike. Denis Lemelin, national president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, says the notice puts the union in a legal position to strike on Thursday night at one minute before midnight, Eastern Time. Lemelin says the union and Canada Post have a history of reaching deals at the last minute. But he warns Canadians thinking about mailing a bill payment or other urgent letter this week to consider their decision carefully. Federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt was concerned a strike was possible and urged the two sides to reach a negotiated settlement. She says any work stoppage would affect Canada’s economic well-being, just when its economy is recovering. The two sides have been in talks for more than seven months and have not been able to hammer out an agreement. CUP-W made a final offer today that includes several amendments and clarifications to its positions — including lowering its demand for wage increases. This does not effect >UPS Or fedex
