Twenty-one unionized workers at the Fort Frances post office are among those on the streets because of a lock-out by Canada Post.Local union president Sandra Lange says for the most part, the local public is understanding of what's taking place.
"It seems that most people are because they sure seem to support us, " says Lange. "I guess they're paying attention. Anyone who came into the post office we had nothing but support. Same on the picket line. We're getting a lot of honking and waves."
Lange says the lock-out will actually force Canada Post back to the bargaining table.
The federal government has served notice it will implement back-to-work legislation if the two sides don't settle their differences through negotiations.
