Jobs and Families Minister Patty Hajdu says she will “exercise my authority” to force a vote on Canada Post’s final offers to the mail carriers’ union.
Canada Post had asked the minister to force the vote in late May, according to the union, which says it’s against such a move.
“After 18 months of negotiation, over 200 meetings … 33 days of strike and a lockout in the fall,” a vote is “in the public interest,” Hajdu wrote in an online statement.
