VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – The rotating work stoppages at Canada Post have hit parts of British Columbia again.

Unionized employees have walked off the job in New Westminster, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Mission, Maple Ridge, the Fraser Valley, and Squamish.

They join others across the country in the second week of job action by Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Members have also walked off the job in Manitoba as well as Ontario and Saskatchewan.

The strikes continue as a special mediator tries to resolve the labour dispute between the CUPW and the Crown Corporation.
