Postal workers rallied in front of the Rideau Centre Saturday morning, protesting federal legislation that ended their rotating strikes.
The rally was one of more than ten demonstrations held across the country to protest the recently passed legislation that forced them back to work.
Labour groups have argued the bill is unconstitutional and violates postal workers' right to strike. In 2011, the Conservative government of the time passed back-to-work legislation for striking postal workers, which was later deemed unconstitutional in court.
