Canada Post workers in Kenora and Fort Frances are back to work Wednesday after spending Tuesday on the picket line.
The two area communities were hit by on-going rotating strikes, so there was no mail delivery.
Kenora local union president Chuck Cadger says the job action will continue until they can get a fair deal.
Cadger says Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers remain at the bargaining table with a mediator, so that’s encouraging.
However, he stresses workers remain in limbo and no one knows day-to-day what’s happening.
Cadger says they are still concerned with health and safety issues and over-burdened letter carriers.
Cadger notes the parcel volumes they have to deal with is just ridiculous, stressing its gone through the roof and something must be done.
Fort Frances local union president Sandra Lange says the strike shouldn’t have had to happen as talks have been going on since last January.
Lange accuses Canada Post of delaying everything and they don’t know why.
She also points to poor working conditions as the reason behind the “last resort” strikes.
Wednesday, rotating strikes have moved to the Ottawa area, Joliette, Quebec as well as Charlottetown and Summerside, P.E.I.
Dryden still hasn’t been impacted.
