Rotating strikes hit Vancouver Island

Postal workers are off the job today (Wed) in a number of Vancouver Island locations.

Those include Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Courtenay and Campbell River locals.

Canada Post employees began rotating strikes just over a week ago to drive home the message about the lack of a new contract.

They’ve been bargaining for almost a year now.

And, he says, the wage increases being offered are well-below the expected inflation rate.
