US Edition‘I don’t really use it’: Canadians split on value of Canada Post ahead of strike vote
CANADA, JUL 20 – Fifty-five thousand Canada Post workers vote on a contract offering a 13% wage increase and more part-time roles amid union calls for rejection after 18 months of stalled talks.
- About 55,000 Canada Post workers began voting July 21, 2025, on a new contract offer amid ongoing negotiations in Canada.
- Canada Post and the CUPW union have been negotiating for over 18 months but remain at an impasse over wages and staffing.
- The offer includes approximately 13% wage increases over four years and adding more part-time workers to sustain services.
- Union national president Jan Simpson indicated that voting decisively against the offer would both decline it and help uphold the integrity of the negotiation process, while Canada Post spokesperson Jon Hamilton described the proposal as a sensible way forward.
- Canadians show divided reliance on postal services, with some using it regularly for bills and family parcels, and others, mainly younger demographics, hardly at all.
