Negotiations paused to reset discussions and focus on resolution

May 13, 2025, 03:06 pm 2 comments

After several days of discussions without meaningful progress, Canada Post has informed the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) that a temporary pause in discussions is necessary. This pause will allow Canada Post to focus on preparing comprehensive proposals aimed at moving discussions forward constructively.

Negotiations resumed at the end of April after breaking off in March. While CUPW requested that both parties return to the table with the assistance of a mediator, the union has either held or hardened its previous positions on key issues, leaving little room for progress.

With collective agreements for CUPW-represented employees extended until May 22, 2025, we understand that our employees and the people we serve are counting on both parties to find a resolution and avoid further labour disruption. Canada Post has therefore advised CUPW that it will use this pause to prepare proposals designed to help advance negotiations and achieve a much-needed resolution. Any offers we bring forward will reflect the Corporation’s current realities.

We recognize the significant challenges facing the Corporation and remain committed to adapting to the evolving needs of Canadians. At the same time, we are focused on protecting and enhancing the wages and benefits that are important to our people. We will continue to share updates on the negotiations process.
