Workers of DHL Express take out the company, adding to the parcel sector’s upheaval.
Uniphore says DHL Express Canada closed the workers after midnight on Sunday as the two sides failed to reach a contract deal, injected more labor upheaval in the country’s parcel delivery market.
The Sangh, which represents 2,100 truck drivers, courier and warehouse workers in seven provinces, says they went on strike at ET at 11 am.
Uniphore says that German -owned carriers are planning to change the driver pay system and use replacement workers before imposing ban on the banned law on 20 June.
DHL Express says it served the stoppage notice on Thursday and Unifoor advised the strike the next day.
In a statement sent by spokesperson Pamela Duke Rai, the company stated that the new payment system is “designed to address the Canadian market’s economic viability and change in operational structure.”
It said that it proposed a 15 percent increment in five years, with an increase of five percent in the first year of a new contract.
“Unfortunately, just a new collective agreement did not have enough progress to the result,” the statement states.
The work stagnation, which affects the package delivery across the country, comes as the Canada Post lives in Loggerheads with 55,000 laborers, which the union imposed an overtime ban last month that takes back the parcel services.
Uniphore says that a task may disrupt the next weekend Formula One Canadian Grand Prix in Stopage Montreal, where DHL is responsible for transporting turbocharged race cars.
Uniphore says its bargain priorities remain wages, working status and automation and automation in the workplace.
