Canada Post has presented new global offers for employees represented by CUPW. The offers enable the company’s modernization while balancing its financial realities with fairness and respect for employees.
Key highlights
- Transitioning employees to an hourly rate of pay system
- Compounded wage increases of 13.59% over four years
- Maintaining your defined benefit pension
- Enhanced coverage for select health benefits, contingent on modest adjustments to premium cost-sharing and drug plan provisions

- Enhanced leave under the Short-Term Disability Program
Proposals to help build the Parcels business
The offers continue to propose important changes to Canada Post’s delivery model to help build a more flexible and affordable postal service – one that better serves Canadians in today’s economy. To support delivery flexibility, Canada Post continues to propose new part-time positions that come with health and pension benefits and scheduled and guaranteed hours.
Transforming the company’s operations
On September 25, 2025, the Government of Canada directed Canada Post to:
- Introduce flexibility in delivery standards and frequency
- Expand the use of community mailboxes
- Develop a plan to protect service in rural, remote, northern and Indigenous communities after the lifting of the rural moratorium
The government’s announcement of these important measures will help renew and restore the postal service so that it aligns with the needs of the country, returns to financial sustainability, and avoids taxpayer-funded government bailouts. The offers contain some proposals to help support this transformation while minimizing the impact on our people.
Committed to reaching agreements
Canada Post remains committed to reaching negotiated agreements with CUPW that are affordable, support its people, and help build a sustainable future for the company.
