Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers have restarted negotiations with contracts set to expire May 22, raising fears of another strike or a lockout. Businesses are already shifting shipments to avoid the major delays seen during last year's strike, with experts saying companies are much better prepared this time. Some expect a lockout is more likely than a strike, as Canada Post struggles financially and may not afford another disruption. If no deal is reached, government intervention, as seen in past disputes, remains a possibility. Retailers and shipping companies are already taking steps like rerouting deliveries and warning customers.
