Canada Post asks jobs minster to force union to vote on ‘final offers’

  • Canada Post asked Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu on May 28, 2025, to force a union vote on its final proposals for 55,000 postal workers across Canada.
  • This request followed months of stalled negotiations and mediation, with both parties unable to resolve disputes over weekend part-time shifts and other conditions.
  • Canada Post’s final offers include a 14% cumulative wage increase over four years, ending compulsory overtime, a signing bonus up to $1,000, and weekend part-time staffing.
  • The Crown corporation reported operating losses approaching $1.3 billion in the previous year and highlighted a sharp decline in letter volumes, prompting doubts about its current business strategy and increasing concerns about the possibility of another strike.
  • Minister Hajdu urged both parties to negotiate an agreement to maintain a strong postal service while continuing her intermediary role; meanwhile, nationwide union rallies are planned for June 1.
