Postal workers are off the job in Toronto Tuesday as the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) continues rotating strikes across the country. Small businesses have called for a quick end to the walkouts for fear they will badly hurt business during the Christmas period.
TORONTO SAYS PAY YOUR BILLS
The City of Toronto is reminding citizens to pay their bills regardless of postal stoppages. A release Tuesday says payments normally mailed to the City must still be made by their due date. It goes on to instruct people that “alternative payment methods include online, by telephone, at banks or financial institutions and in person.” The City’s contingency plan and any future updates will be posted on the City’s website. Residents and businesses with questions about the contingency plan may also call 311.
