The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) strike, which began on November 15th, has brought Canada Post operations to a standstill. No mail or parcels will be processed or delivered until the strike ends. While negotiations are ongoing, there’s no clear end date in sight. If you’re concerned about how this might impact your peak-season shipping plans, Metapack can help.
Who’s affected by the CUPW Strike?
The strike affects all Canada Post services, including urban, rural, and suburban deliveries. Packages in transit will be delayed, and shipments relying solely on Canada Post for final-mile delivery will also be impacted.
Holiday shipping disruptions
The strike has the potential to pose a significant risk to your holiday shipping plans. Even after the strike ends, delays are expected as Canada Post works to clear the backlog.
