Potential Disruption
In addition to the potential disruption to mail and parcel delivery, a work stoppage could also have a significant economic impact. The Canadian Postal Workers Union estimates that a strike could cost the Canadian economy up to $1 billion per day.
It is important to note that the possibility of a strike is still uncertain, and both sides are continuing to negotiate. However, if a strike does occur, it could have a major impact on Canadians across the country.
