OTTAWA — The union representing sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Post workers has filed an unfair labour practice complaint with the sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Industrial Relations Board over the layoffs of striking employees.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says the layoffs are an "intimidation tactic" that violates the sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Labour Code.
No details have been provided on the extent of the layoffs, which sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Post has said are temporary.
sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Post spokeswoman Lisa Liu says in a statement that the Crown corporation has received the complaint and is reviewing it.
Liu says sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Post denies any violation of the labour code.
The strike by more than 55,000 sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Post workers over wages and working conditions has hit the two-week mark.
