| 7/8/2011 | Canada Post Strike Update |
Since Canada mail service resumed, the postal system has been managing a backlog of mail. At the same time, more mail is flowing through the system each day as people send mail that they had been holding on to during the work disruption. Canada Post's largest mail processing plants continue to operate at full capacity. In addition, the company is using additional staff and incurring overtime where required to help clear and process the mail. Canada Post continues to work with our largest customers to schedule and process mail as quickly and efficiently as possible. Based on Canada Post current processing plan, they are anticipating that much of the business mail backlog will be cleared in the near future. They expect that their mail processing activities as well as the overall delivery performance will begin approaching normal levels within a couple of weeks. |
