Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- Postal workers are on the frontlines providing an essential service helping the public navigate the COVID-19 crisis;
- Postal workers welcome the opportunity to help Canadians navigate the COVID-19 crisis as long as they are empowered to do it as safely as possible without jeopardizing public safety;
- Canada Post has obstructed implementation of basic safety protocol as requested by postal workers;
- The virus can live on cardboard parcels up to 24 hours, and those infected can go unawares for up to 14 days;
- Two Canada Post facilities have already suspended processing and delivery due to COVID-19 contamination (St John's, NL & North Bay, ON); and
- The highest possible safety standards are necessary for all levels of Canada Post operations to reduce the potential for our postal service to become a network spreading COVID-19.
