Overview
- The Canadian Union of Postal Workers scheduled a press conference for 10 a.m. ET to update members and the public on negotiations.
- Talks with Canada Post have stretched for more than 18 months without a new collective agreement.
- Late last month the union tabled a counterproposal seeking higher wages with some allowances for part-time positions.
- Canada Post has not formally responded and has urged the union to align expectations with what it calls dire financial realities, saying uncertainty is costing it millions daily.
- The union’s overtime ban has been in place since late May, and there has been no strike action since federal intervention during last year’s holiday season.
