Postal union switches up to rotating strikes

By Rosalind Russell The union representing Canada Post employees has switched up from a countrywide strike to rotating ones.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says rotating strikes began on Saturday.

The announcement came a day after the union met with the federal minister responsible for Canada Post.

The union says it met with Joël Lightbound last Wednesday, voicing concerns about recently announced changes to the postal service’s mandate to overhaul its operations.

Among the changes are an expansion of community mailboxes and the closure of some rural post offices.

The union says it asked Lightbound to roll back the changes but that he said they would stand.
