Canada Post rotating strikes move to Vancouver Friday

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.”
