Inuit governments and the national advocacy group for Inuit rights are calling for an end to the Canada Post strike.
They say the stoppage of mail services is disproportionately impacting Inuit communities across the north.
Both Nunatsiavut Government in Labrador and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK), the national organization representing Inuit across Inuit Nunangat, say the strike is having far-reaching impacts on Inuit since Canada Post is the only mail carrier service in much of the north.
“Canada Post is a lifeline to each of the four regions of Inuit Nunangat,” ITK said in a Dec. 3 statement shared on social media.
Postal workers are asking for better wages, safer working conditions, protection of their defined benefit pension plan, and an expansion of public postal services.
