MONTREAL — Canada Post employees could be headed to the picket line in just over two weeks, with an extension on existing deals between the Crown corporation and the union expiring on May 22.

A strike or lockout would mark the second time in under six months that the postal service ground to a halt after 55,000 employees walked off the job for 32 days in November and December.

Misleading headline - the last disruption was a lockout, not a strike, and they were ordered back to work while talks continued for a new contract. Those talks failed, and now the union is in a strike position.
