Postal, Teachers' Strikes in Alberta Disrupt Businesses
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has welcomed the postal workers' decision to move to rotating strikes, but Alberta businesses remain uncertain. The combination of postal and teachers' strikes is causing disruption and stress for many companies in the province.
Kayode Southwood, a senior policy analyst for CFIB, has stated that while the rotating strikes do allow for some resumption of service, they also bring added uncertainty. Businesses are struggling to plan ahead, with customers unsure when their mail will be delivered.
The teachers' strike in Alberta is also impacting businesses, particularly those located near schools. Audrey's Books in Edmonton, for instance, has been unable to deliver to some customers outside the city due to the postal strike. Some businesses have had to adjust their hours or even close temporarily due to employees needing to care for their families during the teachers' strike.
The combination of postal and teachers' strikes in Alberta is causing uncertainty and disruption for businesses. While the rotating strikes allow for some service, the unpredictability is challenging for companies that rely on postal services for shipping and communication. Businesses adjacent to schools are also feeling the impact of the teachers' strike. CFIB continues to monitor the situation and advocate for its members.
