Canada Post Strike Highlights Challenges Amid Financial Woes and Competition

 


A strike by Canada Post workers has disrupted mail delivery nationwide, drawing attention to the long-standing struggles faced by the service. The labor action, sparked by disputes over wages, working conditions, and job security, comes at a time when Canada Post is grappling with fierce competition and mounting financial losses.
