Postal Union Rep calls Warehouse Security “lax”
Major security concerns are being raised at a Canada Post warehouse serving most of Vancouver Island.
Canadian Union of Postal Workers Local 786 President Don Varnadore says there needs to be action following a break-in and theft of mail at the Canada Post warehouse in Nanaimo last month.
The East Wellington Road facility, which houses tens of thousands of pieces of mail for customers on the island north of the Malahat, did not have an alarm in the warehouse to alert police, and no video surveillance was set up at the time.
Varnadore says security at the facility is lax and should be beefed up.
