The nationwide strike comes after the Canadian government authorised widespread reforms to Canada Post that would shut some post offices and end door-to-door delivery. Prime Minister Mark Carney has said “significant changes” are necessary at Canada Post to make it “viable”. The nationwide strike began on 25 September and Canada Post said operations are shut down during the strike, leaving mail and parcels undelivered for millions of Canadians. Canada Post, meanwhile, warned the strike “will further deteriorate Canada Post’s financial situation”. The November 2024 strike lasted just over a month – 32 days – before the federal government legislated Canada Post employees back to work.
