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.
