employees says it will switch from a countrywide strike to rotating strikes starting Saturday morning, in a move that will get mail and parcels moving again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says rotating strikes will begin at 6 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Its announcement comes a day after the union met with the federal minister responsible for Canada Post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The union says it met with Jo\u00ebl Lightbound on Wednesday evening, voicing concerns about recently announced changes to the postal service\u2019s mandate to overhaul its operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Among the changes are an expansion of community mailboxes and the closure of some rural post offices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The union says it asked Lightbound to roll back the changes but that he said they would stand.<\/p>\n<p>More coverage<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text mv-16 l-inset text-pb-8\" data-sophi-feature=\"interstitial\"><a
