Fort St. John postal workers join rotating strikes
CUPW local 738 president Babe Seguin confirmed postal workers in Fort St. John switched to rotating strikes on Tuesday morning, October 28th.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — After declaring indefinite strike action for more than a month, Canada Post workers in Fort St. John have now joined the nationwide list of rotating strikes.
Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) local chapter 738 president Babe Seguin confirmed the switch to rotating strikes to Energeticcity.ca as of 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 28th.
The change signals an end to a complete shutdown of the service in Fort St. John.
CUPW initiated job action in late September, following the union’s assertion that the federal minister of government transformation, public works and procurement, Joël Lightbound, was planning to make “massive changes” to the government’s mandate for the Crown service, including “huge cutbacks to the public.”
While rotating strikes were initiated nationwide earlier in October, Fort St. John postal workers had continued daily picketing until Tuesday morning.
Energeticcity.ca will update this story as more information becomes available about CUPW’s schedule for strikes moving forward.
