Yesterday, the federal government appointed mediators to assist Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) as the parties continue to negotiate new collective agreements for both the Urban and RSMC (Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers) bargaining units.
The mediators will assist the parties in the negotiations and support discussions toward reaching negotiated agreements.
Process under the Canada Labour Code
The parties continue to negotiate during a 21-day cooling-off period that ends on November 2. Only after the cooling-off period ends would either party be in a position to initiate a labour disruption (following a minimum notice of 72 hours). This timeline means no labour disruption can occur before November 3.
Our goal throughout this round of negotiations with CUPW is to reach negotiated agreements, without any labour disruption.
