Union reviewing Canada Post offers as strike deadline approaches
- The union representing Canada Post workers is currently assessing new offers from the postal service as a strike deadline nears in late May 2025.
- Negotiations have stalled amid disputes over wage increases, part-time staffing, and dynamic routing amid ongoing financial losses at Canada Post.
- Canada Post has experienced increasing pre-tax losses, declining parcel and letter volumes, and received repayable federal funding while facing competition from private carriers.
- Canada Post's offer includes just over 13 percent wage increases over four years and seeks more part-time workers, but the union demands about 19 percent and established rules for route changes.
- If no agreement occurs by May 29, postal workers are set to strike shortly after midnight, risking significant impact on employees, businesses, and millions of Canadians relying on the service.
