OTTAWA—  Canada Post has informed the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) that a temporary pause in discussions. This pause will allow Canada Post to focus on preparing comprehensive proposals aimed at moving discussions constructively. Negotiations resumed at the end of April after breaking off in March. Canada Post says the union has either held or hardened its previous positions on key issues, leaving little room for progress. With collective agreements for CUPW-represented employees extended until May 22, 2025, Canada Post says they understand that our employees and the people we serve are counting on both parties to find a resolution and avoid further labour disruption. Canada Post has therefore advised CUPW that it will use this pause to prepare proposals designed to help advance negotiations and achieve a much-needed resolution. Any offers we bring forward will reflect the Corporation’s current realities.
