Canada Post to Send New Global Offers, Clearing Path to Resume Talks Next Week

The Crown corporation seeks progress with bargaining following a flyer-delivery ban that is straining customers ahead of the holiday season.

Overview

  • The postal service says the new terms are intended to return both sides to the bargaining table next week.
  • CUPW began halting delivery of commercial flyers on Monday and urged Canada Post back to negotiations.
  • Union president Jan Simpson said the tactic replaced an overtime ban and warned stronger actions could follow if talks stall.
  • Canada Post asked workers to clear flyers already in its network and cited impacts on community newspapers, small businesses and charities.
  • Talks have dragged on for nearly two years over wages, part-time roles and weekend delivery, after members rejected a ‘final’ offer in August and a month-long stoppage last year ended through CIRB intervention.
