Overview

  • Canada Post says it remains committed to the collective bargaining process and to reaching an agreement with CUPW.
  • The corporation is reviewing the union’s offers and has requested additional information, with both sides staying in contact through federal mediators.
  • A meeting planned for Aug. 22 was postponed after Canada Post sought more time to assess CUPW’s terms.
  • CUPW continues a nationwide overtime ban as a pressure tactic, and a full strike has not been ruled out.
  • The union’s latest package proposes a 19% wage increase over four years, a cost-of-living allowance, and enhancements to benefits and paid leave.
