Canada Post, CUPW Finalize Tentative Agreements for Urban and RSMC Workers

Member ratification will determine whether the five-year deals take effect through January 2029.

Overview

  • Canada Post said the last outstanding issue on Short-Term Disability Program and personal day language was resolved this week, completing the tentative deals.
  • The agreements include higher wages with annual increases, enhanced benefits, and improved income replacement for injury-on-duty leave.
  • The package introduces a weekend parcel delivery model, and Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers would shift to hourly wages.
  • If approved by a majority of members, the agreements would be in force until January 31, 2029, covering roughly 53,000 workers represented by CUPW.
  • CUPW has not yet set the voting period for ratification, so the agreements remain tentative and are not in effect.
