The first picket lines will go up at the Halifax processing plant at 6175 Almon St. at 8 p.m. AT on Monday.
CUPW, which represents 50,000 postal employees, has been on a rotating strike since Oct. 22.
The group’s demands centre on health and safety concerns, workload, staffing and wages.

The strike in Halifax will last for 24 hours, and those who rely on Canada Post could find themselves either forced to turn to other options, like Purolator, or wait an additional amount of time for their package or letter to arrive.
