Vancouver postal workers are walking off the job on Friday morning.
The local chapter of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) says its members will be walking off the job at 9 a.m. PT.
“I want to make it very clear that we never wanted to strike,” Anju Parmar, vice-president of CUPW Vancouver, said. “This was never our goal. But we were not left with much choice today, so this is where we ended up.”
