Canadians may face delays in getting their holiday gifts and purchases this year after workers at the national postal service went on strike.

Canada Post workers are on strike after failing to reach a negotiated agreement with their employer. Canadian Union of Postal Workers says approximately 55,000 workers are striking, claiming little progress has been made in the bargaining process.
