November 13, 2026, 01:59 pm
Canada Post and the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) have reached a tentative two-year collective agreement.
The new agreement, which is subject to ratification by CPAA-represented employees, would run until December 31, 2028. The tentative agreement provides improvements on key monetary issues for employees, while also reflecting the company’s current realities.
CPAA is Canada Post’s second-largest bargaining agent. Employees represented by CPAA are primarily responsible for managing post offices in rural Canada.
Highlights of the two-year collective agreement
- The new tentative agreement would be in effect from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2028. The current collective agreement expires December 31, 2026.
- The deal includes a 5.17% wage increase over the two years (2.6% increase in 2027 and 2.5% in 2028).
- CPAA-represented employees who are employed with Canada Post on the date of ratification will also receive a non-pensionable lump-sum payment (less applicable withholdings) of $500 for postmasters and other full-time employees, and $250 for all other employees.
