Overview
- CUPW says it will hold its first in-person meeting with Minister Joël Lightbound this evening to press for a rollback of Ottawa’s mandate changes.
- Canada Post’s latest offers keep a 13.6% four-year wage increase but add attrition-based reductions, departure incentives, and removal of urban job-security provisions.
- Signing bonuses have been dropped and the company seeks flexibility to close up to 493 urban and suburban post offices after the federal moratorium was lifted.
- The union calls the proposals worse than those rejected in August, blames repeated government intervention for derailing talks, and has not tabled a counter-offer.
- Mail and parcels remain halted nationwide as Canada Post cites more than C$5 billion in losses since 2018 and a C$1 billion federal loan, with Ottawa warning of roughly C$10 million in daily losses.
