The strike has brought mail delivery across the country to a halt, impacting essential services and forcing residents to find alternative payment methods for government assistance.
Only certain government cheques, such as the Canada Child Benefit and Old Age Security, are still being mailed out due to an agreement with the CUPW.
Most individuals receiving federal financial assistance payments, between 94% to 98%, already utilize direct deposit, minimizing the impact of the strike on these payments.
With the strike affecting northern regions and vulnerable communities, Service Canada urges those in 'dire need' to make arrangements for physical cheque pick-ups if required.
