OTTAWA – Less than 24 hours before one of the busiest shopping days of the year, the federal government has tabled legislation that, once passed, would force Canada Post workers back on the job.
Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour Patty Hajdu introduced the bill in the House of Commons Thursday morning, alongside a motion to accelerate its passage through the House of Commons.
Taking the step to legislate Canada Post back to work comes a day after a special mediator was re-appointed to help try to find a compromise following months of unsuccessful contract negotiations and rolling strikes that have led to a backlog of mail deliveries.
