Parcel Delivery Disrupted as DHL Express Canada Locks Out 2,100 Workers Amid Labour Dispute

 



DHL Express Canada has locked out 2,100 workers after failing to reach a contract agreement with Unifor, the union representing truck drivers, couriers, and warehouse employees. In response, Unifor launched a strike, escalating tensions in the parcel delivery sector.
