Union reviewing Canada Post offers as strike deadline approaches
- The union representing Canada Post employees is currently evaluating new proposals concerning wages and working conditions before a potential strike deadline on May 23, 2025.
- The strike threat follows two years of negotiations, a recent industrial inquiry report declaring Canada Post financially insolvent, and unresolved disputes over pay and part-time job proposals.
- Canada Post faces critical budget shortfalls from declining parcel and letter volumes despite a government loan of $1.034 billion, and it seeks to deploy more part-time workers amid rising parcel demand.
- The corporation proposes wage increases of just over 13 percent over four years, while the union demands about 19 percent to offset inflation, and the union opposes dynamic routing and loss of wash-up times.
- Without an agreement by May 23, CUPW members plan to strike shortly after midnight, which could disrupt services for millions and mark the second strike within six months.
