Albertans make preparations for a second, conceivable, Canada Post attack. 

The 55, 000 postal workers in Canada are on the verge of a new attack. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers issued a strike see on Monday, May 23rd, at 12 a.m. regional time, allowing them to leave the company. After a 32-day attack in November and December, the federal government intervened and the American Industrial Labour Relations Board ordered a temporary close to the attack, which would give the parties until next to achieve a new deal agreement. 1: 45
Local businesses are getting ready for a potential Canada Post strike” My main problem with the telegraph attack coming up or possibly coming up is that it’s going to be different than it was last time,” said Catherine Eckersley, CEO of Valley to Peak Consulting, a company that provides services to seniors and another Albertans who are struggling to continue living and working in their area. Some of the people I work with, including those who have disabilities, are concerned because it’s obviously much harder to get supplies and necessary medical supplies because of how remote and rural they are, Eckersley said. Everyone was affected by the previous strike, according to Eckersley, which occurred in the weeks leading up to Christmas and the holiday season, but she now worries that it will affect the people she works with a lot more. These are therefore essential medical supplies; these are not just Christmas presents or items they saw late at night shopping online. These are things like catheters, essential wound care, respiratory products, and other things they need to be able to use them to just breathe, eat, go to the bathroom without fear of injuring themselves or having any other potentially harmful medical effects. ” Her concerns are echoed by James Teague, the owner of My Everything Store, which sells items like wheel chairs and other medical equipment online and has it delivered to customers ‘ homes. Teeague is already advising his 18, 000 Canadian customers to either buy the necessary medical supplies or make alternative delivery arrangements.” If you’re in a rural setting, you know that Canada Post is the only one who can deliver to PO boxes,” Teague said. If you live in a rural area, don’t use your PO box; instead, send it to a friend’s house or to a neighborhood business that has a brick and mortar store address so we can use Purolator of FedEx to deliver it. Also, order extra so you can have a little safety stock of your supplies in case it takes an extra couple of weeks. After the postal workers ‘ return to their jobs in December,” Teague claimed it still took several months for his business to regain momentum.” According to the Canadian Federation of Business, 79 percent of Canada’s small businesses use Canada Post, and the CFIB estimates that the postal strike last year cost the country’s small business community more than$ 1 billion in lost revenue and sales. 2: 02
