Canada Post court challenge launched to save home mail delivery
Groups representing seniors, disabled join postal employees in charter challenge
The union representing Canada's postal workers is hoping the courts will reverse Canada Post's decision to stop delivering mail door-to-door in urban centres.
With termination notices rolling out across the country, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, along with groups representing seniors and the disabled, are launching a Federal Court challenge.
"The reaction was immediate from every part of this country," said Denis Lemelin, the union's national president, at a press conference in Ottawa Thursday.
"Today we want to thank the people of this country, because people care about the postal service," he said.
