Canada Post employees are working more overtime hours this week.

They’re trying to get mail out of their plants and delivered more quickly, as they grapple with the backlog caused by the mail strike and lockout last month.

Employees will be working overtime during delivery hours, but only in parts of the country that need the extra attention.

According to The National Post, employees sorted through about triple the usual amount of mail on any given weekend.
