Canada Post laying off postal workers amid strike, but says it’s temporary.
Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon said the mediator had concluded the parties were too far apart to reach a deal on a new contract.
He urged both sides to “come back to the negotiating table with a greater sense of urgency” during a meeting with company and union leaders Wednesday evening, according to his office.
Canada Post confirmed on Thursday it is laying off some striking postal workers as the nationwide work stoppage hits the two-week mark, but said the action is temporary.
A Canada Post spokesperson said in a statement to Global News on Thursday that all layoffs are temporary as the strike continues, which has “significantly impacted” business at the mail carrier.
