You’ve probably heard about Canada Post Corporation’s (CPC) unilateral and immediate decision to have all outside delivery workers wear the high-visibility vest, even those who already carry the high-visibility (red) double satchel. You may be wondering where this comes from.
The Story So Far
On December 24, 2014, a brother in Edmonton was struck by a car while getting out of a Canada Post vehicle. After that incident, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) served CPC with an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance. In January 2015, CPC responded to ESDC that they would require all delivery workers across the country to wear high-visibility vests.
