Postal Union Reacts to Lack of Rural Coverage

The President of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers believes the problem can be fixed, but it will take a complete over-haul. This comes after Canada Post confirmed yesterday that areas of Quispamsis and the WestSide had little or no mail delivery since last week. Staffing issues including vacation are at the root of the problem and Wally Moore tells CHSJ News, there are many hurdles in hiring rural carriers including they have to use their own vehicle.


Moore adds Canada Post is aware of the problems these routes face but service is secondary to profits. Canada Post says delivery to the affected areas should get back to normal next week.
