DHL Express Locks Out Workers Across Canada
- Shortly after midnight on June 8, 2025, DHL Express Canada prohibited Unifor-represented employees from working following unsuccessful contract negotiations.
- The lockout occurred because workers rejected employer concessions, including changes to the driver pay system requiring unpaid 100 km commutes.
- Unifor represents over 2,100 workers across seven provinces who voted 97% last month to strike if necessary amid ongoing bargaining since last year.
- Union president Lana Payne highlighted that the union’s members are entitled to dignity and equitable contract terms, noting that the legislation prohibiting replacement workers will be fully enforced starting June 20.
- The labor dispute risks disrupting DHL's national parcel delivery and the Canadian Grand Prix June 13 to 15 due to DHL's race vehicle transport role.
