A group of postal workers staged a mock funeral outside a Canada Post sorting facility in Winnipeg last week.
A new sorting process is being introduced in a number of sorting facilities in Winnipeg, where some employees will sort while others deliver. The workers say the process adds thousands of steps to their routes and will eliminate jobs; Canada Post has said the reorganizing of processes has been normal practice since the mass uptick in parcel delivery.
The union representing the employees, Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and Canada Post are currently in the conciliatory stages of collective agreement negotiations.
