Workers have been on the picket line since November 15th, halting the delivery of cards and gifts with Christmas looming near.

Approximately 55,000 Canada Post workers commenced a nationwide strike after a year of unsuccessful negotiations.

Canada Post says it has presented the union representing some 55,000 striking postal workers with a framework to reach negotiated agreements. A statement issued Sunday says the framework includes proposals to bring greater flexibility to the Canada Post delivery model and shows “movement on other key issues” in the labour dispute that’s stretching into the holiday season.
