As of December 13, 2024, the Canadian government is working to resolve the ongoing Canada Post strike, which began on November 15.
Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon has referred the dispute to the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), which may order workers back to their jobs if talks remain stalled.
The strike has disrupted mail and parcel services nationwide, causing delays and financial strain for businesses, especially during the holiday season.
While the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) criticizes the move as undermining their rights, many small businesses support government intervention to ease the economic impact.
Canadians are advised to expect continued delays and seek alternative arrangements for mail services.
