OTTAWA — An unfair labour practice complaint filed by the union representing sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Post workers over layoffs has been resolved.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers filed the complaint with the sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Industrial Relations Board on Nov. 29 after some workers received temporary layoff notices while on strike.

The union says a mediated settlement has been reached that requires sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Post to notify affected employees that they are not on a temporary layoff.

It says about 328 workers were issued the layoff notices.

The union called the move a "blatant intimidation tactic" and accused sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Post of violating the sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Labour Code, which the Crown corporation denied.

sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Post says that under the terms of the resolution, it reserves the right to make staffing adjustments in the future if required.

The strike by more than 55,000 postal workers over key issues like wages and working conditions is nearing the four-week mark.
