Canada Post union asks Ottawa to butt out as talks set to resume
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers demands less federal interference in wage and job dispute talks with Canada Post, representing about 55,000 workers on rotating strike.
- CUPW has told Ottawa to step back as negotiators plan to meet later this week with a mediator, with members on rotating strike for more than a month.
- Last week, Ottawa announced mandate changes allowing community mailboxes and post-office closures, which officials said were necessary due to Canada Post’s losses and a $1 billion federal injection earlier in 2025.
- Canada Post's latest offer included a 13.59 per cent wage increase over four years, provisions for job losses, and waived signing bonus, with no talks since Oct. 3.
- CUPW president Jan Simpson told MPs that Ottawa has "tainted" talks by intervening, saying `We need the government to stay out of our bargaining and allow us to negotiate,` while ministers urged Canada Post and the union to strike a deal.
- About 55,000 workers are affected as Canada Post was given 45 days to produce an implementation plan, which Jan Simpson urged Ottawa to walk back and hold a `true consultation` on the post office's future.
