Canada Post rotating strikes move to P.E.I. and Joliette, Que.

Canada Post employees in two Prince Edward Island communities and Joliette, Que., are joining the country-wide rotating strikes a day after about 6,000 workers walked off the job in Montreal.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says walkouts started in Charlottetown and Summerside, P.E.I., on Wednesday just after midnight local time, and at 1 a.m. ET in Joliette.

CUPW says the Montreal walkout ended Tuesday night, but another 15 communities across the country were still taking part in the 24-hour strikes.
