Unionized workers at Canada Post to start voting on contract offer
CANADA, JUL 21 – The federal government intervened to end a year-and-a-half negotiation deadlock, forcing postal workers to vote on a final offer with 13% wage increases over four years.
- On July 21, 2025, unionized Canada Post workers began voting on the final offer, after Federal Employment Minister Patty Hajdu asked CIRB to intervene and put the offers to a vote, with the deadline set for August 1, 2025.
- After more than 18 months of stalled talks, Canada Post and Canadian Union of Postal Workers reached an impasse, prompting Canada Post to halt negotiations and request a government order for a binding vote.
- According to Canada Post spokesman Jon Hamilton, the Corporation lost $10 million daily in June, while CFIB data shows 63% of small businesses could abandon Canada Post if strikes recur.
- The Canadian Union of Postal Workers urges rejection of the offer, with Jan Simpson saying a strong `no` vote protects bargaining integrity.
- A positive vote would set the agreement through January 31, 2028, and CFIB warns daily stoppages cost up to $100 million.
