Canada Post employees return to work, but rotational strike remains

Canada Post ends a nationwide strike after two weeks and shifts to rotating strikes, affecting service for 55,000 workers amid ongoing contract negotiations and financial losses.

  • Late Thursday, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers announced it will move from a nationwide strike to rotating strikes starting Saturday, Oct. 11, allowing 55,000 Canada Post employees to resume work.
  • Postal workers launched a nationwide strike two weeks ago after the federal government announced sweeping changes to the Crown corporation, and CUPW said last week the latest proposal takes "major steps backwards."
  • Facing mounting losses, Canada Post reported a $1.3-billion loss last year and is on track to lose $1.5 billion this year while relying on a $1-billion government loan; its Oct. 3 offer includes a 13.59 per cent wage increase but removes a signing bonus.
  • Canadians should start receiving mail again on Tuesday after Canada Post workers shift to rotating strikes on Saturday; Canada Post welcomed employees Friday but warned of `uncertainty and instability`.
  • CUPW has pledged to fight Ottawa's reforms and is hoping Canadians take up the cause, while labour expert Rafael Gomez says the union faces a difficult challenge and rotating strikes will delay delivery.
