Mediation Talks Between Canada Post and Union Halted Amidst Ongoing Strike



Mediation talks between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have been suspended, as both parties remain far apart on critical issues. The federally appointed special mediator announced the suspension, stating that the parties need time to reassess their positions.
