The U.S. Postal Service has temporarily suspended sending mail to Canada due to the Canada Post workers’ strike. Customers are asked to refrain from sending items addressed to Canada until further notice.

This decision by the American postal service comes as 55,000 Canada Post workers have been on strike for more than two weeks.

Canada Post says it has presented the union with a framework to reach negotiated agreements in the conflict that threatens the holiday season.

The company says the plan includes proposals to bring more flexibility to Canada Post’s delivery model and includes progress on other key issues in the labor dispute.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says its negotiators are reviewing the proposal.
