Arbitration hearings for Canada Post and CPAA are scheduled for June
May 8, 2025, 11:33 am
Canada Post and the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) are preparing for Final Offer Selection arbitration hearings that are scheduled for June 9, 10 and 13.
Last December, we announced that after reaching an impasse in negotiations on some key issues, all outstanding issues were being sent to a mutually agreed upon arbitrator.
The arbitrator has now been selected and the parties will head to Final Offer Selection, which is the last stage in this negotiations process.
Under this dispute resolution method, both parties will present their final offers to the arbitrator. The arbitrator then decides on one proposal in its entirety and has no latitude to blend elements from both parties’ proposals.
Canada Post and CPAA will present their final offers during the June hearings and the arbitrator will make a decision within 30 days.
As a reminder, Final Offer Selection is part of the bargaining process with CPAA and this process does not include the possibility of a strike or lockout.
The terms and conditions of the existing collective agreement between CPAA and Canada Post will continue to apply throughout this period.
We will ensure to keep all employees about key developments in this negotiations process.
