the Candian postal strike
this was in the edmonton journal, thought i would shatre it with you, if you want to read the full artical you can find it here http://www.edmontonjournal.com/busin...294/story.html
OTTAWA — Letters, bills and cheques should be flowing into Canadian mailboxes Tuesday, after the Senate passed the Canada Post back-to-work legislation Sunday, one day after a marathon session in the House of Commons ended.
Shortly after the Senate passed the bill with a vote of 53 to 26, the bill received royal assent pushing the legislation into law.
By Tuesday, nearly 50,000 locked-out Canada Post workers will be forced back to the job under settlement terms arranged by government, rather than through a collective bargaining process.
Bill C-6 passed in the House of Commons Saturday night after more than 48 hours of continuous debate, but with no changes.
Postal workers will be back on the job 24 hours after the bill becomes law, said Labour Minister Lisa Raitt, who introduced the bill last Monday and was in the Senate on Sunday to defend it.
Hopefull things will start flowing fast.
