Canada Post said it will cooperate with the federal labour minister’s move to get employees back to work, while the union has called the move an “abuse of power.”

Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon said he was asking the Canadian Industrial Relations Board to intervene in the strike action taken by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and get them back to work.
