SASKATOON – The union that represents letter carriers in Saskatoon who are refusing to deliver anti-abortion flyers that target Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says it has reached a resolution with Canada Post.
Julee Sanderson of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers says some carriers have volunteered to handle flyers for the five employees who won’t deliver them.

She says that, in exchange, Canada Post has agreed not to discipline the workers.
But she says the Crown corporation has indicated it may take action against one carrier who spoke to media about her concerns.
Sanderson says carriers are upset about graphic images in the flyers from a group called the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform.

Sanderson says the flyers will all be delivered by the end of tomorrow.
