Postal Workers On Verge Of Strike Action

The President of the Saint John Chapter of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers says workers here are ready to take to the picket line if the national union and Canada Post can't reach a deal by the end of the day.

Wally Moore tells CHSJ News everyone is feeling a little apprehensive but you won't see any workers crossing the picket line as everyone is 100 percent committed to the national union.

He adds nobody ever wants to go on strike but the dealbreakers, like proposed changes to their sick leave plan, have not been resolved.

If a deal is not reached, the workers will be going on strike as of midnight.
