A crowd of striking CUPW local 566 members at their picket line

On Thursday, the Liberal federal government instructed Canada Post to end home delivery and close some rural mail outlets. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) responded with a nationwide strike.

London workers with CUPW Local 566 joined the picket line Friday morning at the Oxford and Highbury processing plant.

“The government keeps overreaching and not allowing for free and fair bargaining,” said Michael Coppins, CUPW 566 External Grievance Officer. “We feel like we’ve been left out in the cold.”
