Canada Post workers began a forced vote to decide on a final contract offer from management July 21, with voting to run until Aug. 1.

The vote, forced by the labour minister, comes after almost 19 months of back-and-forth negotiation and two employee strikes. Canada Post says its operating losses skyrocketed up to $10 million per day last month.
