The postal worker who came across one of the suspicious packages in the last few days had to take time off work to deal with reality his life was in danger.
The union representing him who says the workers had a right to be concerned.
"They were disturbed about it. They were upset,” said Glenn Bennett, local president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.
The union represents 1,400 postal workers in and around Winnipeg.
One postal worker CTV spoke to didn't want to appear on camera but said his employer, Canada Post, should've done a better job protecting him and other workers.
Glenn Bennet agrees, saying postal workers on Monday were anxious and nervous not knowing if they were handling dangerous goods.
He said Canada Post should have temporarily shut down mail processing plants, allowing police to search for suspicious packages while keeping workers out of harm’s way.
"We plan on meeting in the next couple days with the employer around procedures. Again, we're disappointed probably in what's transpired here in the last three days," added Bennett.
Canada Post could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.
Winnipeg police said all of the discovered packages are believed to have been sent through the mail system on June 29 or June 30 and that the packages were delivered on July 2 or July 3.
The union said workers are feeling better now because they are assured all dangerous packages connected to the bombing incident are out of the system.
