Canada Post Strike: Why did it happen and how did it impact you?

Canada Post plays a critical role in connecting Canadian businesses across the country. Recently, we saw a major disruption to its service, which can happen occasionally. Let’s explore why it happened most recently and how it affects you.

The strike stemmed from several key issues:

• Worker Pay: concerns over wage disparities between urban and rural employees

• Safety Concerns: Canada Post employees demanded better health and safety measures

• Modernization Challenges: various disputes over automation and new technologies
