Today, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) announced it has received a strike mandate from its members. With the cooling-off period coming to an end on November 2, Canada Post and CUPW must approach the negotiations with greater urgency to avoid a labour disruption.

Potential strike coming from Canadian postal workers.

Today, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) announced it has received a strike mandate following a vote from its members. This means that they will have the legal right to strike starting November 3, if a minimum 72-hour notice has been provided.

On September 25, Canada Post presented proposals to protect and enhance what’s important to employees, within the Corporation’s financial constraints, while making the changes that are necessary to better serve Canadians and Canadian businesses in today’s demanding parcel delivery market.

CUPW presented counter-offers to Canada Post on October 7, and the two sides continue to negotiate. The company remains committed to proceeding with urgency and finding the common ground necessary to reach agreements.
