Parkland Chamber of Commerce

Today, with our provincial and territorial partners from coast to coast to coast, we sent a letter to the Minister of Labour and Seniors and the Minister of Public Services and Procurement and Quebec Lieutenant, urging immediate action to resolve the ongoing strike that has shut down operations at Canada Post for two weeks.   This strike is more than just a disruption — it’s yet another blow to Canada’s strained supply chains, disproportionately impacting small businesses and families in northern, rural, and remote communities.   Read the letter ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/egYsTc_k #CanadaPost #CanadaPostStrike #LabourDisruption #SuppluChains #CdnEcon Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec (FCCQ), BC Chamber of Commerce, Alberta Chambers of Commerce, Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Atlantic Chamber of Commerce ************************* Aujourd’hui, avec nos partenaires provinciaux et territoriaux d’un océan à l’autre, nous avons envoyé une lettre au Ministre du Travail et des Aînés et le Ministre des Services publics et de l’Approvisionnement et lieutenant du Québec, demandant des mesures immédiates pour mettre fin à la grève qui a cessé les activités de Postes Canada depuis deux semaines.   Cette grève va bien au-delà d’une simple perturbation – elle représente un nouveau coup dur pour nos chaînes d’approvisionnement, touchant de manière disproportionnée les petites entreprises et les familles dans les communautés nordiques, rurales et éloignées.
