DHL Express Canada Close operations early Friday morning in the middle of a strike And lockout, interrupting thousands of daily parcel deliveries across the country.
The work stoppage involving 2,100 truck drivers and other workers come the same day as legislation prohibiting replacement workers takes effect.
DHL equaled the closure to negotiations in standby with Unifor as well as the revised rules, which prevent new hires from fulfilling the role of employees regulated by the federal government who are on strike or locked.

The mail belonging to Germans, whose 50,000 customers in Canada include Lululemon, Shein and Siemens, continuous operations for the first tens of days of work stoppage, but began to end earlier this week while the legislation was.
