On Saturday afternoon, Canada Post workers went on strike following the government’s decision to end door-to-door mail delivery.

 The union says it is shocked by the government’s decision on the government’s decree on sweeping changes in the national service. The union, which represents Canada Post employees, described the proposed changes as an “attack” on workers who have struggled to compete with an increase in low-fee private delivery services .

The strike, announced late Thursday by the union, marks the second time in the last 12 months that the country’s postal service has stopped for the duration of the strike with mail and parcels being stopped and no delivery and no new items accepted.

For more than 20 months, protracted negotiations between the union and the Postal Service have continued with no clear agreement in sight. The Postal Service has struggled against the rise of private services driven by delivery that work more often and at a lower cost. Mail delivery, which peaked in 2006, has also slowed dramatically.
