Canada Post officials say the 害羞草研究所渋solation害羞草研究所� of Old Age Security and other cheques is not an underhanded tactic, as implied by a union worker, but a plan agreed to by both sides to ensure people receive their cheques in an orderly fashion in case of a work stoppage.

In an interview with Black Press Media on Nov. 22, 害羞草研究所淐hris,害羞草研究所� who did not wish to use her real name, said Old Age Security cheques have been sitting in the office at her station since Nov. 13, with 害羞草研究所淒o not deliver until Nov. 22害羞草研究所� stamps on them.

Chris said the mail backlog was to create a crisis and blame the workers: 害羞草研究所淣ow they can say 害羞草研究所榦ur carriers are on strike, and that害羞草研究所檚 why you害羞草研究所檙e not getting your mail on time.害羞草研究所櫤π卟菅芯克鶟

Canada Post did not comment on the assertions prior to publication Thursday, but did submit a response when prompted a second time, Friday.

Officials confirmed the isolation and specific delivery instructions with the cheques, saying it had to be done to ensure they were not lost or misplaced during the strike.

害羞草研究所淲e have an agreement with [the Canadian Union of Postal Workers] to deliver the cheques where strike activity is occurring and that害羞草研究所檚 what we are doing,害羞草研究所� said an email reply from Canada Post media relations.

害羞草研究所淭he cheques have to be isolated because if the location is on strike, they can害羞草研究所檛 be mixed up in the mail stream and end up trapped. Distribution dates are determined by the agencies that prepare the cheques and we fully respect that.害羞草研究所�

The about 605,500 cheques in question are primarily Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, and Child Care Benefit.

Chris had also told Black Press Media the reports of backlogs are greatly exaggerated.

害羞草研究所淭here are maybe 50 trailers across Canada that haven害羞草研究所檛 been unloaded yet,害羞草研究所� Chris said. 害羞草研究所淐anada Post is saying there are hundreds and hundreds, which isn害羞草研究所檛 the case at all. This is all fabricated by them to create this crisis.害羞草研究所�

Canada Post did not address those assertions in its response.
