Original Toronto Star caption: The backlog of mail piled up in Terminal A during the 11-day postal strike began to move today after maintenance workers lifted their picket lines. Sorter Gladys Stanley checked on bundles of city that had already been sorted and could be gotten out quickly. The post office also began to bring into the terminal more mail that has been backed up in posted stations around Metro. Maintenance workers' union warned that their strike could be resumed at any time.
