Canada Post has presented new global offers to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), for both the RSMC and Urban bargaining units.
Higher wage increases
We’ve presented enhanced offers that propose higher wage increases and demonstrate that we’re serious about reaching negotiated agreements, without any labour disruption.
The offers continue to protect and enhance what’s most important to you, including your defined benefit pension, job security provisions, cost of living allowance, leave entitlements and health benefits. We continue to propose moving RSMC employees to an hourly rate of pay. Like the previous ones, the offers also propose changes that would only affect future employees hired after the signing of the new collective agreements.
Urgency needed at the table
Both parties must urgently focus their energies on resolving outstanding issues to reach negotiated agreements. Nobody wins if there’s a strike. A labour disruption would have significant consequences for employees and the millions of Canadians who rely on Canada Post.
A labour disruption would affect Canada Post’s ability to invest in its employees. It would deepen the company’s already serious financial situation as customers move their holiday shipments to other carriers – which has already started happening due to the uncertainty surrounding a labour disruption.
For this reason, the offers are conditional on reaching negotiated agreements, without a labour disruption. We’ll continue to keep you informed as the negotiations process unfolds.

CUPW RSMC
Strike Strike show courage they mistreat us!
Let’s not forget if they have rotating strikes again we will not get strike pay.
And RSMC OCRE’s get absolutely nothing again. We get 85% of a route holders pay and the expectation from management to be available at all times and come into work on a moments notice. And no one from management or our own union cares that we make less money and receive zero benefits for doing the very same work. Thanks, Brothers and Sisters, for sticking up for us…
this EXACTLY.
If we do go on strike for more than a couple of weeks will we not loose all if not more of our first years income raise.
Everyone please remember some important facts 1 – the Liberals are about to fall and a federal election to follow best to agree to a contract before this happens. A PC majority government will no doubt bring Trudreau 6 sick days . This proposal puts these days into our contract 13 total.
Also once the general public finds out that postal workers are rejecting a 5% wage increase in first year lets just say we will lose in the court of public opinion. Go on strike we will be forced back and we will lose once again. A PC government has shown that it is not good for workers anywhere in Canada
Back to 7 personal days we go
And here we go. Reminds me a lot of 2011
No deal is best deal. Keep fight for future not today.
Well, it’s up to the union to risk a strike and loose what is being offered, I highly suggest a vote happens and let the membership decide.
