Hardstand expected against mail strikers
Ottawa reports indicate the federal government may take a hard line against the fourth day of postal worker strikes. The cabinet ad hoc committee will meet to discuss the dispute with Postmaster General Gilles Lamontagne and others. About 6,000 carriers in 25 locals and nearly a third of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers were idle. Some mail service was halted in major centres with talks appearing stalled. If the union rejects the latest contract offer, a legislated settlement could follow.
