The Strike Is On: What’s Happening?
Canada Post has received official strike notices from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), announcing that strike activity will commence at 12:00 a.m. local time on May 23, 2025. This industrial action is expected to disrupt mail and parcel services across the country, posing major challenges for businesses that rely on Canada Post for delivery.
The Impact on Small Businesses and Online Stores
During previous strikes, small businesses reported an estimated $1.6 billion in losses. With more Canadians shopping online than ever before, the 2025 strike is poised to hit even harder. Delayed shipments, lost packages, and poor customer experiences can all contribute to declining trust and lost sales. For entrepreneurs and boutique retailers, the pressure is real—and immediate.
