Overview

  • The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has implemented a national overtime ban instead of striking after Canada Post rejected a request for a two-week 'truce.'
  • Canada Post presented new proposals last week, including a pay increase and plans to introduce part-time workers, citing financial constraints.
  • The union has criticized the proposals as insufficient on wages and other key issues, though formal feedback has yet to be provided.
  • Negotiations are ongoing, with both parties engaged in discussions alongside mediators, but progress remains slow.
  • An Industrial Inquiry Commission report recently declared Canada Post 'effectively bankrupt,' recommending structural changes opposed by the union.
