Drivers who work for a Canada Post contractor in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have ratified a new deal with their employer after a brief strike. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers represents about 20 of the workers in Sydney, N.S., New Glasgow, N.S., and St. Stephen, N.B. CUPW delivery drivers Brad Burchell and Paul White were among 14 contract employees on strike outside Canada Post's mail sorting plant on Upper Prince Street in Sydney last month. CUPW says every time Canada Post chooses a new contractor, the union has to start over to negotiate a collective agreement. Under the previous contract, drivers earned $14.30 an hour.
