CUPW negotiations: Canada Post reassessing new Global Offers following changes announced by the Government of Canada
September 26, 2025, 03:52 pm
Canada Post has informed the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) that, in light of the significant transformational changes announced by the Government of Canada, it is reassessing its new Global Offers.
In his announcement on September 25, the Honourable Joël Lightbound, Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement, said Canada Post must take decisive action to deliver the services Canadians need in a way that is financially sustainable.
We remain committed to reaching negotiated agreements with CUPW that are affordable, support our people and help build a sustainable future for the company. We have confirmed with CUPW that we are working diligently and will present these new offers as soon as possible.
We support the reforms announced by the government, which will allow our country’s national postal service to chart a strong, financially sustainable path forward that better meets the evolving needs of Canadians. We are also disappointed that, in response to the government’s reforms, the union chose to launch a national strike. This will further deteriorate Canada Post’s financial situation.
Canadians deserve a postal service that is reliable, affordable and sustainable. As we begin the process of modernizing the country’s postal service, we will make every effort to minimize the impact on Canadians and continuously look for ways to enhance service. We will also proceed thoughtfully and treat our employees with fairness and respect.
