Dozens of people rallied outside Winnipeg South Centre member of Parliament Jim Carr's office Saturday afternoon to throw their support behind Canada Post workers. There are just five days left before the Canadian Union of Postal Workers' (CUPW) strike mandate expires. Union officials say negotiating with Canada Post without the mandate is not an option. Hladun said the federal Liberals still haven't changed the postal workers' strike mandate left by the previous Conservative government leaving workers with no choice but to strike. "The reality is the workers at Canada Post … they don't want to go on strike, they want to be able to provide service to Canadians," she said.
