Private courier seeing increased business during Canada Post strife
Canada Post is still dealing with rotating strikes as the company and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have not been able to come to a decision on a new collective agreement.
While Prince Albert has not been directly affected by the labour disruptions, Elise Hildebrandt CEO of the Prince Albert and District Chamber of Commerce said businesses which are looking to ship things in Canada do face some uncertainty.
“It causes a little bit of concern when you’ve got to send some of your bills and cheques across the country,” she said.
The chamber’s CEO said she has not heard any direct complaints from members about the disruptions having an effect on them. She added companies looking to avoid having their shipments tied up as a result of the issues at Canada Post do have other options.
