We understand that the ongoing negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) are of significant interest to your business operations. As of April 3, 2025, Canada Post has provided an important update on these negotiations, following a period marked by a national strike and the involvement of the Industrial Inquiry Commission (IIC)
Current Status of Negotiations
The IIC has concluded its hearings, which began in January 2025. The Commissioner is expected to present a report and recommendations to the Minister of Labour by May 15, 2025. This report will be crucial in shaping the future of the negotiations and potentially resolving the ongoing dispute.
Potential for Labour Disruption
The existing collective agreements between Canada Post and CUPW, reinstated at the end of 2024, will remain in effect until at least May 22, 2025. This means that a labour disruption could occur as early as May 22 if an agreement is not reached. Canada Post is committed to keeping customers informed about any significant developments and potential impacts on their operations.
