Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers have signed the new collective agreements, bringing the bargaining process to a close.
The new collective agreements for the Urban and Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers bargaining units remain in place until January 31, 2029.
The unaudited results provided by CUPW showed that 89 per cent of Urban votes and 85.9 per cent of Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers votes were in favour.
According to a Canada Post media release, “The new agreements also recognize that Canada Post needs to change, with measures such as an affordable weekend delivery model supporting our transformation. Having these new agreements in place is critical as we move ahead with a multi-year transformation to return to financial sustainability and better meet the modern needs of the country. It’s important that we move forward in a timely manner, while continuing to work closely with our bargaining agents and the Government of Canada.”
