The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has issued a 72-hour strike notice, meaning Canada Post workers could legally begin striking this Friday if no agreement is reached. Here’s what Goorooship Canada customers should know:
🔸 Strike Uncertainty: Although CUPW has issued a notice, a final decision on job action is pending as negotiations continue. Key issues include wage increases, staffing, benefits, and protections for temporary workers.
🔸 Impact on Parcel Deliveries: Canada Post is operating normally for now, but customers may face delays if a strike or rotating strikes occur. This could affect shipments nationwide, impacting timely deliveries of your parcels.
🔸 Who Might Be Affected? A potential strike could interrupt delivery schedules across Canada. Some public services have already advised of possible delays—such as the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) payments—as the postal service prepares for possible disruptions.
What Goorooship Customers Can Do: To ensure continuity, we recommend exploring alternative shipping options through Goorooship.ca, where you can quickly compare rates from UPS, FedEx, DHL, Purolator, Canpar, GLS, etc, print waybills, and track shipments across various couriers.
Stay tuned for updates as the situation unfolds, and rest assured that Goorooship Canada is here to help you navigate any delivery challenges. 📦
