More than 50,000 postal workers in Canada have entered a fifth day of a labour strike.

Workers are asking for a wage increase, and want the ability to work weekends with overtime pay.

The work stoppage has halted mail and parcel services across the country.

The Canadian government has appointed a special mediator to help both sides reach an agreement.
