Canada Post to table new global offers Friday amid prolonged labour dispute
Canada Post's new contract offers include a 13.59% wage increase over four years but add job cut provisions and remove signing bonuses amid ongoing labor disputes, union says.
- On Friday, Canada Post will present new global offers to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers after months of stalled talks involving 55,000 workers over wages, part-time work and delivery standards.
- After CUPW rejected Canada Post's May-era 'final offer' in early August, the meeting comes 44 days after CUPW last submitted proposals and 63 days since a forced vote ended without resolution.
- Canada Post's new offer keeps many May-era terms but removes a signing bonus, citing worsening finances, and includes provisions related to expected job cuts.
- The union said it will carefully review any proposals to judge impacts on workers, families and the public, while Canada Post urged CUPW to lift the ban on unaddressed flyers.
- The federal government transformation plan includes ending daily delivery and community mailboxes, while Canada Post plans voluntary departure incentives up to 78 weeks base pay, Lisa Liu said.
