Canada Post proposing fresh deals to unions, aiming to advance negotiations
The ongoing negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have reached a new phase, as Canada Post presents new global offers to find common ground on key issues.
The current standoff between the two parties, which began almost two years ago, took a turn last week when Canada Post's final offer was rejected by the CUPW. In response, the union presented its own proposal.
Now, Canada Post is sending new offers to the CUPW, aiming to move the negotiations forward. The new terms will allow the two sides to return to the bargaining table next week.
The global agreement proposed by Canada Post includes key points such as weekend pickup arrangements. However, the detailed specifics of the global offers and exact terms on weekend pick-up are not publicly detailed in the available sources.
The CUPW has expressed concerns that Canada Post's proposal is a step backwards. Despite Canada Post's request for the union to come back with a more workable solution, this hasn't happened yet.
In a separate development, Canada Post has also asked for the ban on delivering flyers, enacted on Monday, to be lifted. This move could indicate a willingness to find compromises and move towards a resolution.
The report was first published by The Canadian Press on September 18, 2025. As the negotiations continue, both parties are under pressure to find a solution that respects the interests of postal workers and strengthens the postal service.
