Canada Post Strike Reaches 25 Days Without Resolution

Negotiations between Canada Post and its union remain stalled, with both sides making accusations of bad faith as calls for government intervention grow.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) met with Canada Post on Monday for the first time since federal mediation was paused nearly two weeks ago.
CUPW has proposed wage increases, a cost-of-living allowance, additional medical leave, and improved rights for temporary and on-call employees, among other demands.
Canada Post has expressed disappointment with the union’s latest offer, stating it widens the gap in negotiations and citing its worsening financial losses, now in their seventh consecutive year.
The federal government has resisted calls for intervention, urging both parties to return to the bargaining table and resolve the dispute independently.
The ongoing strike, which began on November 14, has disrupted millions of deliveries, with small businesses and charities particularly affected as they turn to alternative couriers.
