These offers lay out the company’s proposals for each bargaining group. Canada Post has heard CUPW’s concerns and worked to find solutions. We have presented fair and reasonable offers that reflect the important changes needed to meet the service expectations of our customers and Canadians, while protecting and enhancing what matters most to our employees. We continue to negotiate with CUPW to reach new collective agreements and avoid any labor disruption. We are working to put Canada Post in a strong position to invest in the business, our employees, and meet the evolving needs of our customers. Our commitment to customers: We deeply value the trust that customers put in us to deliver for their business, and we understand that seasonal planning is done months in advance. If there is a strong possibility of a labor disruption, we’re committed to letting customers know as quickly as possible. Operations continue as usual: Negotiations continue with CUPW with the help of neutral conciliators. Our business operations continue as usual during the conciliation process. Process and timelines: • On August 13, the parties moved into conciliation, which provides an extended timeline to continue negotiating with the help of neutral conciliators. • The conciliation period typically lasts 60 days and can be extended if the parties agree. • Following conciliation, if no agreement has been reached, there’s a 21-day cooling-off period. • Only after this cooling-off period would either party be in a position to initiate a labor disruption (following 72-hour advance notice).
