NOTICE OF VOTE

File Nos.: 038750-C; 038751-C

The Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) will conduct a vote in accordance with section 108.1 of the Canada Labour Code among employees working in the Urban Postal Operations (UPO) and Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers (RSMC) bargaining units to determine whether the employees eligible to vote wish to accept or reject the Canada Post Corporation’s (Canada Post’s) last offers for collective agreements, dated May 28, 2025, in relation to these bargaining units.

Further to the CIRB’s decision of July 14, 2025, confirming Canada Post’s last offers, employees can access Canada Post’s last offers on the CIRB website at www.cirb-ccri.gc.ca under the heading “What’s New.” You are encouraged to review the content of the offer applicable to your bargaining unit before voting.

METHOD OF VOTE

The vote will be conducted by Simply Voting on behalf of the CIRB by Internet and by phone. Eligible voters who have provided an email address to Canada Post will receive a letter by email, from Simply Voting, outlining how to vote and providing a personal identification number (PIN), which is required to cast a vote. Voters should receive this letter by email at 7:00 a.m. EDT on July 21, 2025, which is the start date for the vote. Please contact Simply Voting toll-free at 888-507-9875 if you have not received the letter by email after voting has started, so that you can obtain a PIN and voting instructions.

Please make sure to check your junk email folder for the letter containing your PIN before contacting Simply Voting.

Eligible voters who do not have an email on file with Canada Post will be able to obtain a PIN by contacting 888-507-9875 starting at 7:00 a.m. EDT on July 21, 2025. Eligible voters will be required to validate their identity to receive a PIN and voting instructions.

Voters will be allowed to vote without interference, restraint or coercion from any source. The Returning Officers appointed by the CIRB will be overseeing the vote. Both Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers will have the opportunity to appoint scrutineers to oversee the vote.

This is a SECRET BALLOT vote, and your vote is strictly confidential. No one will know how you voted, including scrutineers.

Employees eligible to vote are those in the UPO and RSMC bargaining units, employed by the employer as of June 12, 2025, and who remain so employed on the first day of the vote.
