Prince Albert region not affected by postal backlog: Union
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) disagree with Canada Post management that there’s an abnormal amount of mail backlogs.
After just over a month of rotating strikes, Canada Post workers have been back on the job for a couple weeks after return to work legislation was enforced by the federal government.
Prairie Region Education and Organization Officer with CUPW, Todd Jarema, said most of the high activity is seasonal.
“During this seasonal holiday period where there is typically a larger volume of parcels being shipped, you know folks are buying gifts and what not for the holidays. There’s always going to be and always has been a bit of an increase in terms of those volumes,” he said.
