Canada Post employees in Scarborough walked off the job Sunday afternoon as part of rotating strikes that have affected much of the country. Members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) working at the York Distribution Centre joined picket lines at 3 p.m. in the third week of the nationwide strikes. Members of the Scarborough Local branch of CUPW serving Pickering will not be on strike, as they walked off the job last week. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says that by Monday morning 1,800 members will be on strike. The union has also called for a national overtime ban, which means postal workers can refuse to work beyond their normal eight-hour days.
