The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has issued a 72-hour strike notice to Canada Post, affecting both urban and rural bargaining units.
If no agreement is reached, workers will be in a legal strike position starting Friday.
Jamie Gordon with CUPW Local 610 in St. Thomas said a strike would shut down operations in St. Thomas and across Elgin county.
Gordon added no services would be provided at the main post office on Talbot Street in St. Thomas.
He advised their last contract was inked six years ago.
The union has rejected Canada Post’s latest contract offer, which included 11.5% wage increases over four years.
