Jobs minister presses Canada Post, workers to reach a deal

  • Canada Post reported an operating loss approaching $1.3 billion for 2024 as it continues contract talks with its 55,000 postal employees.
  • The losses worsened after a 32-day strike in November and December 2024 disrupted peak season deliveries and reduced parcel volumes by 65 percent.
  • Canada Post presented final offers on Wednesday, including a 14 percent wage increase, a signing bonus, and ending compulsory overtime to resolve the impasse.
  • On June 4, 2025, Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu called on both Canada Post and its union to resume negotiations with the assistance of federal mediators, who remain available to facilitate discussions.
  • The impasse raises questions about Canada Post's business model and financial sustainability, while a prolonged arbitration could deepen its significant financial challenges.
