Canada Post and Union at Odds Over Weekend Delivery Amid Contract Negotiations

 



Recent contract negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have failed to resolve disagreements over weekend delivery services. Despite extensive talks over the weekend, both parties remain at an impasse, with Canada Post describing the discussions as less productive than anticipated.

The primary sticking point is the implementation of seven-day parcel delivery. Canada Post argues that this change is essential to remain competitive in the delivery market, while the union insists that weekend delivery should not compromise regular, full-time routes on weekdays. Additionally, CUPW is pushing for improvements to the short-term disability plan for its members.

The negotiations continue, with both sides expressing hope for a breakthrough but acknowledging the urgency of the situation.
