Senate Finalizes Back-To-Work Bill

Striking postal workers are being sent back to work at noon Eastern Time on Tuesday.

The Senate gave back-to-work legislation Royal Assent Monday night.

Federal Labour Minister Patty Hajdu announced a mediator will be chosen and appointed in the next few days to help the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and Canada Post reach a new agreement.

She says the rotating strikes have negatively affected Canadians but calls back-to-work legislation a last resort.

CUPW National President Mike Palacek says workers are outraged, claiming the law violates their right to free collective bargaining.
