A Canadian woman who identifies as an “unapologetically fat intersectional feminist” won her bid to bring an obstetrician to the B.C.

In a notice to members posted Monday, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers called the layoffs a “scare tactic” and said it’s looking into the situation.

The notice pointed to a section of the Canada Labour Code that forbids employers from laying off workers who are participating in a strike.
