US EditionStriking Canada Post union urges Ottawa to walk back sweeping mandate changes
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers demands reversal of federal changes including ending home delivery and rural post office closures amid a strike affecting nationwide mail services.
- Canada Post workers began a strike on September 26, 2025, shutting down most mail services across Canada except essential deliveries like pensions and social assistance.

- The strike and reforms have disrupted rural communities and small businesses, highlighting tensions over service cuts and calls for government investment and honest negotiations.
