A rotating strike by Canada Post employees is causing disruptions for mail delivery in Dauphin.
Carrie Brook, President of Dauphin-Swan River Local 722, hopes the strike and the disputes behind the strikes get resolved quickly.
“Brandon and Winnipeg are on the rotating strike as of today. so as of right now, there is very limited mail that is actually being distributed. So the movement is still there, but right now there is a little bit of disruption as there has been for the last two weeks across Canada since the start of the rotations.”
“As an employee, as a person that does this job, we don’t want to be on strike, we don’t want to have to do these things. But when you need to fight for the rights you are entitled to that are stipulated in labour code and otherwise that it’s important that we stand up for ourselves.”
The movement of mail is still there but it’s limited as much as it can be and limit the hurt on Canadians.
“This is where we stand up for ourselves, and the hope is that we don’t have to have a full strike, that’s not what the hope is. But we’ll see.”
