Canada Post has received notice that the Minister of Jobs and Families has approved its request for a vote to take place on the company’s final offers to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), using her authority under section 108.1 of the Canada Labour Code.
The vote will be administered by the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) as soon as possible and will give employees in the Urban and RSMC (Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers) bargaining units the opportunity to have their say on Canada Post’s final offers. The company stands ready to work with the CIRB to prepare for the vote and will share details as soon as they are available.
Canada Post welcomes the Minister’s decision as it will provide employees with the opportunity to have a voice and to vote on a new collective agreement at a critical point in its history. A negotiated agreement between the parties has always been the preferred path to an employee ratification vote. However, the parties remain at a major impasse after 18 months of negotiations, a national strike and an Industrial Inquiry Commission that detailed the challenges facing the company, and what needs to be done to begin addressing them.
Canada Post’s final offers
On May 28, 2025, Canada Post presented final offers to CUPW for employees in the Urban and RSMC bargaining units. The vote will take place on these offers.
Details about the company’s final offers are available at canadapost.ca/offers.

Management needs to stop posting comments pretending to be employees – “best contract ever”. ???? Yah if your opinion of the best contract ever is low pay, working a solid 8 hours every day regardless of the weather (no early finish days), no assigned routes leaving you open to management harassment, the elimination of permanent full time jobs and the leaving us open to changes in our schedules. Voting yes would reward management for refusing to negotiate a proper collective agreement
This is the Best we’re going to get.. CUPW blew it after 2.5years of stalling
Agreed
Working 8 hours I thought was the norm? What are you suggesting we work
100% support let’s us vote for new contract. Best contract in the history.
Agreed

Same old Movie, always the same outcome..let’s fight another day and move forward…Vote Yes
I vote Yes now tell me where to pick up my $1,000 signing check
I think before any member votes, we should have total transparency on what is actually going on at the bargaining table. I know workers are frightened that the company could go under and we will all be out of jobs but that would mean we would be the only country in the world that does not have a postal service. I could be wrong but i just cant see that happening. There is way more to this new collective agreement than the little tidbits we are being proposed. Just remember that every positive has an equal negative. We all need to hear exactly evrything before voting one way or the other because once its signed, its signed……..
Union will not be transparent, they have a secret agenda and secret demands they will not share with us. These illegal acts are against the labour code and they will be punished for leaving the membership high and dry..
