OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday said the government could move to stop strikes by postal workers that have delayed the delivery of mail.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers last month began a series of rotating strikes across Canada to press their demands for increased health benefits and job security. Their employer, Canada Post, is the country's primary postal operator.
