The union representing Canada Post workers has informed management that employees plan to strike at midnight on Friday.
Canada Post says it received a strike notice Monday and that more than 55-thousand postal workers intend to walk — shutting down operations for the second time in six months.
The agency says the stoppage would affect millions of residents and businesses who typically receive more than two billion letters and roughly 300-million parcels a year.
A Canada Post spokesperson says no new items will be accepted until the strike ends, while those already in the system will be “secured” but not delivered.
