Postal Showdown in Canada

The article discusses the impending expiration of a government-imposed strike ban affecting 55,000 Canada Post workers and the escalating pressure from the Canadian ruling class to reduce jobs, diminish worker rights, and prioritize profitability at the Crown Corporation. The ban, arbitrarily implemented, has suppressed worker action while Canada Post faces growing demands for restructuring. The article implies that the expiration of the ban could lead to significant labor unrest as workers seek to defend their jobs and working conditions against the backdrop of corporate cost-cutting measures. The focus is on the potentially explosive situation at Canada Post and the collision course between workers' interests and the demands of the Canadian elite for increased profits and reduced labor costs. The article frames the situation as a critical juncture in the struggle to defend workers' rights. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/05/18/xgzr-m18.html
