'We don’t want to strike,' says B.C. postal worker as talks continue

Canada Post: parties 'must approach the negotiations with greater urgency to avoid a labour disruption'

Postie Caristiona Maclean Vanston sent a letter to the Chilliwack Progress addressed to the"people of Chilliwack" to offer a worker's perspective, after the Canadian Union of Postal Workers obtained a strike mandate on Oct. 25..

"It is critical that both parties focus their energies on resolving outstanding issues to reach negotiated agreements. A labour disruption would have significant consequences for the businesses we serve and the millions of Canadians who rely on Canada Post, while deepening the company’s already serious financial situation," according to the Canada Post update.

Postal workers stayed on the"front lines" ensuring parcels and mail reached Canadians during the pandemic, the worker pointed out. "We ask for your support as we stand together to protect fair working conditions. Your local postal workers at CUPW Local 741 are here for you, and we’re committed to serving Chilliwack with the respect, care, and reliability that you deserve."
