Canada Post has paused contract negotiations with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) as the May 22 deadline approaches, raising the possibility of a strike. The carrier stated that recent discussions did not yield meaningful progress, prompting the need for a pause to develop comprehensive proposals. CUPW President Jan Simpson criticized Canada Post for maintaining its demands and not addressing key issues, particularly regarding weekend delivery operations. Experts advise businesses relying on Canada Post to explore alternative shipping options due to the potential disruption.
