Overview

• With a national strike ongoing, Canada Post submitted revised contracts Friday and said the offers reflect what the corporation can afford.
• The package retains much of May’s final offers, including about a 13% compounded wage increase over four years.
• Canada Post confirmed the previously discussed $500–$1,000 signing bonus is no longer offered due to deteriorating finances.
• CUPW called the proposals worse than August’s rejected terms, alleging workforce reductions and fewer post offices protected from closure after the delay.
• The corporation highlighted enhancements to benefits, pensions, vacation pay and a cost‑of‑living allowance, and indicated voluntary departures to manage expected job cuts linked to federal reform plans.
