GOVERNMENT CHEQUE DELIVERY

Canada Post workers went on strike Friday after a year of negotiation failed to produce a new collective agreement. (The company responded to the union’s strike notice last week by issuing a lock-out notice.) The union and the company have agreed that some benefit cheques will still be mailed out during the strike, including for the Canada Child Benefit, Old Age Security, and the Canada Pension Plan. The doors here will be open Wednesday, November 20, from 8 am to 5 pm for people to pick up those cheques.
