November Ontario Works cheques will not be mailed out in Chatham-Kent.
Instead, because of rotating 24-hour strikes at Canada Post, cheques will be handed out in person at the Employment & Social Services offices.
Clients need to bring their ID to pick up their cheque -- either one form of photo ID or two forms of non-photo ID.
Clients that signed up for Direct Bank Deposit will not be affected, though.
