Canada Post talks to resume as possibility of strike looms next month
- Negotiations between the national postal service and its workers' union restarted on April 30, 2025, as the current labor agreements approach their May 22 expiration date.
- The discussions come after a nationwide postal strike concluded in December when a federal order compelled workers to resume their duties, stopping further interruptions in service.
- Both parties are negotiating new collective agreements for urban and rural carriers with the aid of a mediator, after talks broke off in March.
- Canada Post warned of a potential labour disruption starting May 22 and highlighted a critical financial situation supported by up to $1.034 billion federal funding.
- If no agreement occurs by May 22, strike actions, lockouts, or government intervention could follow, increasing uncertainty for businesses and Canadians.
