Overview
- Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers will meet with a federal mediator later this week for their first bargaining session in nearly a month, with a date still to be set.
- Postal workers remain on strike more than a month after walkouts began, shifting to a rotating model roughly two weeks into the action.
- Canada Post said it has cut some management positions to align leadership with a government-directed transformation plan, without disclosing how many roles were eliminated.
- The federal reforms announced Sept. 25 allow expanded community mailboxes, relaxed delivery standards and some post office closures, and require Canada Post to submit an implementation plan within 45 days.
- Canada Post’s Oct. 3 offer proposes a 13.59% wage increase over four years, removes a previously offered signing bonus and includes provisions that could allow job losses, while the union seeks 19% and urges Ottawa to stay out of bargaining.
