US EditionUnion representing Canada Post workers announces overtime ban as no deal reached
- The union representing Canada Post employees announced that, starting at midnight on May 22, 2025, workers nationwide will implement a ban on overtime across all Canada Post operations.
- The union imposed the ban after rejecting Canada Post's latest offers, which fell short of the union's 19% wage increase demand amid ongoing contract negotiations.
- Canada Post proposed a 13% wage increase over four years, plus changes like dynamic routing and more part-time staff, which the union criticized as inadequate and disruptive.
- CUPW has instructed its members to limit their work hours to no more than eight per day and 40 per week, aiming to reduce inconvenience for the public and prevent unnecessary loss of work time for employees, according to their statement.
- If no two-week truce is agreed upon before midnight, the union is set to strike shortly after, marking a potential second job action within six months and escalating labour tensions.
