Canada Post published this update on Tuesday, as it has done occasionally since resuming its activities on December 17, after the strike of 55,000 members of the Postal Workers’ Union.
Thus, “our service levels for processing and delivery have returned to normal across the country, including in rural and remote regions,” the company first announced.
As a result, it claims to have been able to restore its guarantees of on-time delivery within the “domestic regime” for items deposited since January 6.
For what it calls transactional mail, however, that is to say letters, statements and invoices, the return to normal will still have to wait. “We continue to process accumulated Domestic Transaction Mail items, in addition to new volumes deposited. We must therefore continue to expect delivery delays of several days, beyond our service standard,” she warns.
As for international shipments, you will also have to wait a little for the return to normal. “We are expediting the processing of accumulated international mail and packages, but customers should expect a delivery delay of several days for incoming international items,” she explains in her update. day.
The postal workers’ strike lasted a month, starting in mid-November. In mid-December, federal Labor Minister Steven MacKinnon asked the Canada Industrial Relations Board to verify whether the parties had a reasonable chance of reaching an agreement on the renewal of collective agreements by the end of the year, failing which he ordered a return to work on December 17.
At the same time, he extended the collective agreements until next May and set up a commission of inquiry into labor relations at Canada Post.
