Los dueños de negocios de Calgary vigilan de cerca la huelga pendiente en Canada Post**Calgary business owners keeping a close eye on pending strike at Canada Post
Mail and parcels are continuing to pile up at Canada Post depots across the country as continued job action threatens to put the holiday mailing season into a tailspin.
Officials say that there is a massive backlog of items waiting to be delivered and with unions blocking any overtime worked by employees, clearing the backlog has become much more difficult.
"As of this morning at our Gateway parcel processing plant in Toronto, we surpassed 260 trailers of parcels and packets waiting to be unloaded. Union picket lines came down in this city late this morning, but the resulting backlog is beyond any previous record of backlogged trailers, with more expected today after two days of missed customer pickups due to the strike," Canada Post said in a statement released on Friday.
