Ottawa has ordered them back to work. It's unlikely that Canada Post employees will get much sympathy from average Canadians if they disrupt everyone's Christmas. Both the government and the union know this, but the bluster continues.
Bill C-89 passed third reading by a vote of 166 to 43- CP
Legislation ordering postal workers back to work was passed in the House of Commons during a special session that dragged on into the wee hours of Saturday morning.
Bill C-89 passed third reading by a vote of 166 to 43.
The Senate will now sit Saturday — and if necessary, Sunday — to deal with the bill, which would go into effect at noon ET on the day following royal assent.
The legislative push came as Ottawa, as well as smaller towns in Ontario and British Columbia, and Sherbrooke, Que., became the latest targets of rotating strikes by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW).
Despite the rush to pass the legislation, Labour Minister Patty Hajdu encouraged Canada Post and CUPW to remain at the bargaining table.
"They can still pull a deal off," she said.
The rest is here.
