The union’s latest announcement says that Kitchener and Quebec City are back to work at 1pm EDT, Friday, June 10, 2011 while Red Deer Alberta is going to walk out at 10pm (8pm local time) for a 48 hour stoppage. The bulletin says that 155 urban workers are in Red Deer. Canada Post has published a similar notice about CUPW’s actions.
CUPW’s bulletin #63 indicates that the union agreed to suspend strike activity at the request of Labour Minister Lisa Raitt with the condition that the terms of the collective agreement would be reinstated. Canada Post apparently rejected this idea.
The same bulletin says that CPC has reinstated drug coverage at the request of the union. Apparently this benefit was suspended due to the strike. Canada Post outlines their temporary plan which will help those workers in need.
Apparently negotiations will continue over the weekend.
It will be interesting to see the editorials over the weekend of the major papers. Some are calling the strike more of an annoyance than a real work stoppage. However, I have to point out that for me personally who uses electronic communication all the time and I mean all the time, these strikes do not affect me at all.

So now you guys are part time with no benefits. It is time to bring on a new union leader with more than half a brain. There were offers turned down with maybe 2% and sick pay and pension and now nothing. What happens when you are locked out with no benefits and they start hiring your replacements? This is not the time to be listening to your rich leader, you will be out of a good job and no money and no benefits. If the government sends in a negotiator who knows what you will end up with but certainly less than where you are now. I think a majority of the public is fine with no mail. The seniors and others will get their checks without your help. My packages are delivered by UPS or Purolator or Greyhound so you guys may as well start learning how to pour coffee and flip burgers and your leader with half a brain can run a delivery service
