US EditionUnionized workers at Canada Post to start voting on contract offer
CANADA, JUL 21 – The vote will decide if Canada Post's final offer, including a 13% wage increase over four years, becomes the new contract after prolonged strikes and government intervention.
- Starting July 21, 2025, members of the union at Canada Post started casting their ballots on the latest contract proposal from the Crown corporation.
- The vote follows over a year and a half of stalled negotiations and government intervention directing a forced vote on the employer's offer.
- The Canadian Union of Postal Workers, representing about 55,000 employees, urges members to reject the offer due to benefit losses, a two-tier wage system, and inadequate wage restoration.
- Jan Simpson, national president of CUPW, emphasized that a decisive rejection of the offer is necessary to uphold the fairness and credibility of the negotiation process.
- The vote’s outcome could mark nearly 10 years without a negotiated agreement and influence small business reliance as labour unrest reduces confidence in Canada Post's service.
