- Talks resumed today (Aug 25) between Canada Post and CUPW after a late-week delay.
- Delay was linked to federal mediators’ focus on the Air Canada dispute; mediators have rejoined the postal talks.
- Canada Post says it’s reviewing CUPW offers and has requested more details; both sides say they’re committed to bargaining.
- A prior offer reportedly included a 13% wage increase over four years; postal workers rejected a forced vote earlier this month.
Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers are back at the bargaining table today after talks were postponed late last week. Local and national updates say federal mediators, who were diverted to handle the Air Canada strike, have returned to the file, allowing negotiations to continue.
In statements carried by multiple outlets, Canada Post said it’s reviewing CUPW’s latest proposals and has asked for additional details, while reiterating its commitment to reaching an agreement. Coverage notes earlier rounds included an offer with a 13% wage increase over four years that became a flashpoint, and CUPW members later rejected a forced final-offer vote.
With mediators back in place, the focus shifts to bridging gaps across the urban and rural–suburban carrier units and avoiding any service disruption as fall volume ramps up. Both parties remain in regular contact through federal mediation, according to corporate updates and wire reports.
