Providing Leadership in promoting the economic development, prosperity and growth of businesses in Prince Edward County. 206 Main Street Unit 2B, Picton, ON
As the Canada Post labour negotiations halt and mediation talks are suspended, @DanTisch, President and CEO of the @OntarioCofC, issued a statement calling for an immediate resolution to the ongoing nationwide labour strike and highlighting the challenges facing businesses as a result.
“This is more than a labour dispute or a logistical challenge; it’s an economic risk to Canada. Instead of thriving during the holidays, businesses face delays, damaged reputations, and lost sales,” said Daniel.
