The U.S. Postal Service says it will indefinitely suspend deliveries of international mail to Canada due to a strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

Last week, the U.S. Postal Service announced it was temporarily suspending international mail acceptance to Canada because of the strike.

The U.S. Postal Service has temporarily suspended mail service to Canada amid an ongoing national strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, which represents workers for the country’s primary postal service.

WASHINGTON — The United States Postal Service announced a temporary suspension of international mail services to Canada because of the ongoing national strike by Canadian postal workers.

At a time when many people are sending gifts far and wide in time for the holiday season, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) advised customers Friday that it will immediately pause the international shipping of packages to Canada due to an ongoing national strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

The U.S. Postal Service has temporarily stopped accepting international mail to Canada due to an ongoing strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

The Canadian Press reported that the move to temporarily suspend international mail acceptance to Canada by the U.S. Postal Service comes after some 55,000 Canada Post workers walked off the job more than two weeks ago.

We are now three weeks in to the nationwide mail strike , which started Nov. 15 after year-long negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) failed and 55,000 postal workers hit the picket lines.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says a new framework for negotiations that Canada Post presented over the weekend moved closer to the union's position on some issues, but that it remains far from what members could ratify.
