Summary
The recent Canada Post strike, which lasted a month last winter, disrupted passport delivery and negatively impacted small businesses. With collective agreements expiring on May 22, 2024, negotiations have resumed, and another strike may occur soon, as the financial situation of Canada Post remains critical, highlighted by recent layoffs and a $1 billion government loan. Amid ongoing uncertainty, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers aims to secure fair agreements for workers, while experts warn of the organization’s steep decline due to shifting societal preferences away from traditional mail.
