Canada Post Union Ends Overtime Ban, Targets Flyer Deliveries in Escalating Labour Dispute

                                            A Canada Post employee in White Rock, B.C., in July.



The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has announced it will lift its months-long overtime ban as of 12:01 a.m. Monday, replacing it with a ban on delivering commercial flyers.

Union president Jan Simpson said the move is aimed at pressuring Canada Post to return to the bargaining table after nearly two years of stalled negotiations. CUPW has been pushing for higher wages and improved working conditions, while allowing some flexibility for part-time staff.

Canada Post expressed disappointment, warning the flyer ban will hurt thousands of businesses that rely on the service for low-cost advertising. Business groups, including the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, also voiced concern, noting the timing so close to the holiday season could disrupt commerce.

The overtime ban, in place since late May, was part of CUPW’s broader strike actions. The union hopes the new tactic will minimize disruption for Canadians while keeping pressure on the Crown corporation to reach a “fair, ratifiable” agreement before year’s end.

If talks remain stalled, Simpson warned that postal workers may consider stronger actions in the weeks ahead.
