Canada: Postal workers' strike enters 7th day

Business Oct 02, 2025

Canadian postal workers have been on strike for seven days, pushing back against government plans to end door-to-door mail delivery and close some rural post offices.
The union says negotiations have stalled and they are waiting for a "reasonable offer" from Canada Post.

Impact of the strike

This strike is shaking up daily life for millions, especially in rural and Indigenous communities where post offices are a lifeline.
Businesses and personal mail are delayed, though essentials like benefit cheques are still being delivered.
The standoff is also putting pressure on the government to balance budgets without cutting vital public services or workers' rights.
