Postal workers across the country have started their second strike action in less than a year after Public Works Minister, Joël Lightbound, announced changes to the Canada Post. 

Lightbound said he will be instructing Canada Post to introduce flexibilities in their delivery standards. The government is also authorizing the corporation to introduce community mailboxes to approximately four million more addresses ending door-to-door delivery in those areas. 

In response, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) began strike action. The union said the measures introduced by Lightbound could result in major job losses. CUPW and the Canada Post have been negotiating a new collective agreement for 20 months.
