(Toronto, November 22, 2004)… Effective today, the Canadian Council of Teamsters representing UPS Canada employees has initiated a work stoppage.
UPS have implemented contingency plans to deliver all shipments picked up as of Thursday, November 18. However, some shipments may be delayed.
A tentative collective agreement reached on October 1 was rejected by the membership and the strike was initiated by the Teamster leadership.
UPS Worldwide Express and UPS Worldwide Expedited shipments into Canada will continue. However, other UPS services have been suspended. This strike affects UPS Canada operations only and will have no effect on UPS operations outside of Canada.
Updates will be provided as further information on the strike is available.
