Ottawa – About 300 PSAC members working at Canada Post are on strike in Halifax , St. John's , Scarborough and Vancouver today, as part of rotating strikes that hit day four for the members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC).
These strikes are part of a plan of action that will impact all points of service at Canada Post.
While they were out yesterday in Ottawa , members were on strike on December 10 in Edmonton and on December 9 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia and Fredericton , New-Brunswick.
In November, the 2500 PSAC members at Canada Post voted 73% in favour of strike action. Negotiations with Canada Post started last July. The outstanding issues include health benefits, severance pay, various leaves, job security, staffing of positions and salaries.
