US EditionTalks between union, Canada Post scheduled for Friday postponed
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers maintains a national overtime ban after rejecting a 13% wage increase offer amid prolonged contract talks.
- Negotiations between Canada Post and its labor union, which represents tens of thousands of postal employees, were scheduled to resume in Ottawa on Friday but have been postponed to August 20.
- The delay occurred due to unavailability of federal mediators who are currently involved in Air Canada negotiations, though the union had been calling for talks to resume.
- Negotiations have stretched over more than a year and a half, with the union rejecting the employer’s last offer made in late May, which included a 13% wage increase over four years and adding part-time workers.
- Canada Post described the corporation as facing an existential crisis and said it looks forward to a comprehensive union response addressing significant and increasing challenges.
- The union maintains its countrywide prohibition on working extra hours as negotiations remain postponed, with a strike still a possibility due to ongoing unresolved issues and the recent rejection of employer proposals by members.
