Canada Post rural sortation plan may cut part time jobs
The plan to standardize rural mail sortation could affect part time workers as Canada Post rolls out a national guideline ahead of the September 23 start. Officials say no full time positions will be cut, with specifics to be clarified after implementation, while businesses relying on same day mail may feel the impact. The Russell Banner delivery remains unchanged. Enumeration for the provincial general election lists 661,762 voters, with prior totals and turnout context.
