Canada Post Tables New Proposals as Postal Strike Stretches On


Canada Post has presented fresh offers to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) in an effort to end the nationwide strike that has disrupted mail delivery for over a week. The strike, involving more than 55,000 workers, began after the federal government announced sweeping changes to the Crown corporation’s delivery model, including reduced door-to-door service and potential post office closures.

The new proposals maintain wage increases of 13.59% over four years, along with health and retirement benefits, vacation entitlements, and a cost-of-living allowance. However, Canada Post has removed a previously offered signing bonus, citing worsening financial losses. The corporation says the updated package balances modernization with long-term job security, while union leaders insist that meaningful consultation—not unilateral action—is needed to protect workers and communities.

Negotiations remain tense, with CUPW calling for a “reasonable offer” that addresses both employee concerns and the public’s reliance on postal services. Meanwhile, the strike continues to impact households and businesses across the country, raising pressure on both sides to reach a settlement.
