CUPW Presents New Proposals To Canada Post

The union representing striking Canada Post workers has responded to, and revised, recent proposals from the mail carrier.

CUPW said in a release yesterday that with the nationwide strike now in its 4th week, members have “waited far too long for Canada Post to bargain in good faith.”

“True progress requires meaningful engagement, not surface-level proposals, or new demands that derail progress,” the statement reads.

In a statement yesterday, Canada Post said while it is looking at the latest proposals, it doesn’t want to provide false hope to impacted employees, small businesses, charities and northern communities that were hoping for a speedy resolution.

CUPW says its latest proposals include member demands – forwarded from their Locals across the country and voted on by each bargaining unit – that address the issues postal workers need resolved so that they can all get back to work.

Canada Post points to mounting financial pressures and says it will record another significant loss this year, the seventh consecutive annual loss for the Corporation.

Since 2018, the company has lost more than $3 billion.

55,000 Canada Post workers went on strike on November 14th.
