OTTAWA -- The union representing about 55,000 Canada Post employees has called for a countrywide overtime ban beginning at midnight local time, saying its contract negotiators are meanwhile continuing to review the latest offers from the mail carrier.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says members are being called on to refuse any work beyond eight hours in a day and 40 hours in a week.
The news comes as CUPW was set to be in a legal strike position as of midnight local time.
More coming.
