About 260 postal workers walked off the job in Thunder Bay and the surrounding region on Friday, joining thousands more across the country.
THUNDER BAY — The head of the union representing striking local postal workers says it’s unfortunate they’ve walked off the job.Favreau, president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Local 620, on Friday said about 260 workers throughout Thunder Bay and the region are affected by the national strike. Workers include plant employees, sorters and letter carriers
“I felt as long as they were still talking, we were doing fine. I was really heartbroken to find out they broke off talks yesterday. I still had hopes that we were going to settle all along.” Canada Post, in a statement issued on Friday, said its operations have shut down and customers should expect delays while the strike continues. Mail and parcels will not be processed or delivered, and some post offices will be closed. No new items will be accepted until the labour dispute is resolved.
Favreau is hopeful by walking off the job on Nov. 15, the message will be delivered to Canada Post loud and clear.
