Workers at Canada’s national postal company are on strike for the second time in less than a year, shutting down a delivery service for millions of households and businesses.
Members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers walked out on Thursday evening after a government minister announced plans for a major restructuring of the post office.
“In response to the government’s attack on our postal service and workers, effective immediately, all CUPW members at Canada Post are on a nationwide strike,” said a statement on the website of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.
