Montreal hit with rotating Canada Post strike; 6,000 workers walk off job

MONTREAL - The union representing Canada Post workers says 6,000 members in Montreal walked off the job Monday night as part of its country-wide rotating strikes.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers said the walkout began at 10:30 p.m. local time.

Quebec's largest city joined nine other locations on strike across the country Monday.

CUPW says walkouts continue in nearby Iles-de-la-Madeleine, as well as Lloydminster, Sask.

They're also continuing in the Ontario locations of Oshawa and Peterborough, and in the B.C. communities of Royal City, Upper Valley, Fraser Valley West, Squamish and Prince George.

In a statement, Canada Post warns that the Montreal walkout will have a significant impact on operations, since it is an important processing hub.
