Postal Talks Resume Amid Ongoing Overtime Ban

Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) are set to return to the bargaining table as an overtime ban continues to impact operations. The union, representing 55,000 postal workers, opted for the ban instead of a full strike, citing unresolved issues such as wages, part-time staffing, and weekend deliveries.
