Canada Post employees have initiated a nationwide overtime ban, causing disruption for customers shortly after a peak season work stoppage. This decision follows the expiration of labor contracts between the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and Canada Post, impacting rural, suburban, and urban postal operations. Experts warn that an extended labor disruption could strain Canada’s parcel delivery sector, leading shippers to consider alternative carriers. Canada Post has reported a 50% drop in parcel volumes compared to last year, signaling the immediate effects of the overtime ban as negotiations with the union continue.
