Postal workers mum on striking in Prince George

Postal workers are not making promises either way on whether Prince George will be on the target list as they begin a campaign of rotating work stoppages to press Canada Post for higher pay and better working conditions.

Postal workers are not making promises either way on whether Prince George will be on the target list as they begin a campaign of rotating work stoppages to press Canada Post for higher pay and better working conditions.

After starting in Winnipeg on Friday, they'll go on strike in Hamilton over the weekend but have remained tightlipped about where they'll put up pickets after that.

Tami Brushey, president of the Prince George local of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) said headquarters has given no indication of when this city may be next in line.
