Possible postal service disruption
Recent press reports indicate that there is the possibility of a disruption of service from Canada Post. As of Friday, July 18, 2003, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is in a legal position to strike.Negotiations
In recognition of the progress made in current negotiations, the CUPW notified Canada Post that they would not participate in a work stoppage at this time.
Should there be a labour disruption resulting in rotating strike action by the CUPW, the WCB will continue to do business as usual. However, if a full Canada-wide strike or lockout occurs, the Workers' Compensation Board will implement contingency plans.
Contingency Plans
In the event of a strike, the WCB will implement contingency plans that include:
- A process to distribute cheques and important documents to claimants from WCB facilities
- Instructions for employers on how to continue submitting payments and important documents to the WCB electronically
- Regular communication with our stakeholders
