Second potential Canada Post strike in 6 months looms

Weekend work remains a big obstacle in negotiations between Canada Post and its workers, who have threatened to walk off the job May 23 in what would be their second strike in less than six months. The union has informed management that employees plan to hit the picket line starting Friday morning just after midnight, halting delivery of nearly 8.5 million letters and 1.1 million parcels per weekday.
