Another year, another Canada Post strike. When the federal government intervened in the Canada Post strike last December, it extended collective agreements until May of this year, after which point both parties were free to resume the conflict. The postal ‘dispute’ is no longer just about protecting a union’s collective agreement; it’s a last-ditch effort to save the public postal system in Canada. Labour disputes are no longer disputes between equals, if they ever were. So let’s not call the looming Canada Post strike a ‘labour dispute’.
