In a  news release issued this evening,  the union  says the refusal of overtime “Will rotate to different provinces and territories one day at a time, and is expected to cause minimal disruption to mail service. It’s a major negotiations issue for the union, which has been demanding that Canada Post staff its workforce properly and build routes that match scheduled hours, instead of overburdening workers and making them stay on the job longer.  Postal workers can be forced back and severely disciplined for refusing overtime.”

The union wants Canada Post to create more jobs instead of relying on overtime.
