Postal services could be interrupted across the country starting next week.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has issued a 72-hour strike notice to Canada Post and says rotating strikes will begin on Monday at midnight if no settlement is reached before then.
It says they’re still determining where the strikes could take place.
The two sides have been negotiating for the last ten months without any success.
In a statement, union national president Mike Palecek says members gave them a clear mandate to take job action if Canada Post refused to address their major concerns.
That includes job security, an end to forced overtime and overburdening, better health and safety measures, service expansion and equality for rural and suburban mail carriers.
It also wants Canada Post to address workplace injuries, which have increased by 43% over the last two years.
