Canada Post is rejecting a proposal from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers to hold off their strike action for two weeks.
The 55-thousand workers plan to hit the picket lines tomorrow….their second walkout in six months.
But the union wants to delay things for two weeks to give them time to consider a new contract proposal offered by Canada Post yesterday.
The big issue continues to be weekend deliveries.
Canada Post wants to use part-time workers, while the union is demanding they be full-time staffers.
An industrial commission report, established by the federal government, also recommended an end to door-to-door mail deliveries as one way to stem the post office’s mounting losses.
