TL:DR

DHL Canada bout to hit pause on errthang cuz of a major worker showdown. 2100 workers on strike/lockout, and packages ain't movin' after Tuesday night. They had a whole plan, but it's lookin' like a major L now. This adds to the tea with Canada Post dealin' with their own drama.

The Deets

Aight, listen up, fam! DHL Express Canada is straight-up suspending operations nationwide. Like, all of Canada. Why? Cuz 2,100 of their truck drivers and other workers are in the middle of a strike AND a lockout. Double whammy!

So, peep this: starting June 20th, ain't no more parcels gettin' delivered. And if you were expectin' somethin' from outta town, too bad. Inbound packages are stoppin' tonight, Tuesday night. Deadass.

DHL thought they were slick with a "contingency plan" to keep things movin', keepin' those retailers and e-commerce peeps happy. But, uh, that plan kinda flopped. Now they're like 🤷. Unifor, the union reppin' the DHL workers, was droppin' truth bombs about replacin' union workers with temps. Looks like they saw this comin'.

And to add to the chaos, this ain't the only drama in the shipping world. Canada Post is also in its feels, dealin' with some sus negotiations with their own workers. The shipping game is a whole mess rn, no cap!
