Canada Post is set to return to negotiations with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers as a national rotating strike continues. The strike began over a month ago, largely due to the federal government's introduction of significant changes to Canada Post's operations, including an expansion of community mailboxes and the potential closure of some post offices. This dispute affects postal workers across Ontario, including neighborhoods in Toronto and Mississauga, as they seek better working conditions and terms in their collective agreement.
