Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has intensified his criticism of the United States, directly accusing President Donald Trump of encouraging the wave of protests that has shaken the country. The demonstrations, which began as economic grievances, quickly expanded into broader political unrest and were met with a forceful response from Iranian security forces.

Canada Post Workers Issue 72-Hour Strike Notice

 

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has issued a 72-hour strike notice to Canada Post, putting the postal service on alert for potential disruptions starting Friday, November 15th. This notice affects both urban and rural mail carriers, as negotiations for a new contract have yet to yield an agreement.

The union’s decision comes after nearly a year of bargaining, with key issues such as wage increases, pensions, and medical leave remaining unresolved. Despite Canada Post’s offer of an 11.5% wage increase over four years, the union has rejected the proposal, citing insufficient progress on other critical matters.

CUPW President Jan Simpson emphasized that while the union is prepared to strike, the decision will depend on Canada Post’s actions in the coming days. The potential strike could significantly impact mail and parcel delivery, especially during the busy holiday season.

Canada Post has expressed concerns about the financial implications of a strike, noting that ongoing labor disputes could further strain its already challenging financial situation. The company reported significant losses in recent years, attributed to increased competition and higher delivery costs.

As the deadline approaches, both parties remain hopeful for a resolution that will prevent a disruption in services and ensure fair working conditions for postal workers across Canada.
