Twenty-four hour rotating strikes have begun for Canada Post workers in Halifax, Windsor, Victoria and Edmonton.
The company failed to reach a contract agreement with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers before the strike deadline at midnight.
Canada Post says in the areas where the rotating strikes are being held, mail and parcels will not be delivered or picked up.
The postal service will be accepting and delivering mail and parcels in all other locations.
CUP-W members are looking for better job security, an ending to forced overtime, as well as improved health and safety benefits..
The union represents around 50,000 Canada Post employees.
