The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is dissatisfied with Canada Post’s “final offers” for new labor contracts, contributing to ongoing negotiation uncertainties. Despite Canada Post’s claims that its latest proposals include more employee-friendly terms, such as removing compulsory overtime and offering bonuses, key issues remain unresolved. The proposed wage increase of 13.59% falls short of CUPW’s 19% demand, and Canada Post’s push for part-time jobs for weekend deliveries faces opposition. As negotiations continue, shipping activity has significantly declined, with parcel volumes down 65% compared to last year.
