Postal Workers Strike Sends Clear Message
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) local chapter 738 president, Babe Seguin, confirmed that shifting from daily job action to rotating strikes has not weakened the message from Peace region postal workers. Since September, workers have been striking daily to raise awareness about potential rural post office closures.
Areas at Risk of Post Office Closures
- Altona
- Buick
- Cecil Lake
- Charlie Lake
- Clayhurst
- Montney
- Prespatou
- Rose Prairie
- Tumbler Ridge
- Dawson Creek (retail office)
- Fort St. John (retail office)
These offices were previously protected by a moratorium, which could be lifted amid proposed cuts to mail services.
Canada Post’s Response and Government Plan
Canada Post’s media department stated that Minister Lightbound has given the service 45 days to present a plan outlining steps to implement federal government measures introduced in early September. The plan focuses on:
- Prioritizing service
- Carefully minimizing public impact
- Treating employees with respect
- Keeping the public informed
- Adapting flexibly to the evolving needs of Canadians
"The plan is being finalized and will be shared as directed with the government in advance of the deadline."
Summary
Postal workers in the Peace region maintain strong pressure against potential rural closures through rotating strikes, while Canada Post prepares a government-directed plan to address service changes thoughtfully.
