Newsroom Ready: Rallies held to stir up support for Canada Post workers across the country

Canada Post workers gathered in 13 cities across Canada, holding rallies to raise awareness of the ongoing labour dispute between their union and employer. Basia Sokal, a letter carrier from Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley who joined a few dozen others at an event in downtown Halifax, describes Canada Post's treatment of its roughly 55,000 unionized workers as shameful.

Canada Post presented its 'final offers' to the union representing 55,000 workers on Wednesday, with concessions including an end to compulsory overtime and a signing bonus of up to $1,000.
