Canada Post workers are on strike after failing to reach a negotiated agreement with their employer.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says approximately 55,000 workers are striking, claiming little progress has been made in the bargaining process.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers issued a 72-hour strike notice earlier in the week, saying it's been asking for fair wages, safer working conditions and other improvements over nearly a year of bargaining.

"We still believe we can achieve negotiated collective agreements, but Canada Post must be willing to resolve our new and outstanding issues," the union said in a statement.
Canada Post served the union with the lockout notice not long after but had said it didn't intend to lock workers out.
The Crown corporation released a statement early Friday morning confirming that customers will experience delays as a result of the strike.
