Negotiations updates

Between July 21 and August 1, more than 53,000 Canada Post employees represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) will have the opportunity to vote on the Corporation’s final offers for collective agreements.

Yesterday, the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) provided the parties with a Notice of Vote. The CIRB is an independent administrative tribunal that will administer the confidential vote. Employees will vote privately, either online or by phone.

Voting will be open to all employees in the Urban and RSMC (Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers) bargaining units. Employees from each unit will vote on their respective offer. If a majority of voters in each bargaining unit accept their offer, it will become the new collective agreement for that unit and bring resolution to this extended round of negotiations.

What employees will be voting on

CUPW-represented employees in the Urban and RSMC bargaining units will be voting on their respective best and final offers which Canada Post presented on May 28, 2025.

The Corporation has put forward offers that reflect the company’s current realities while protecting items that are important to employees. They also include needed changes to help begin to rebuild the company’s parcel business.

Our commitment to customers

We know the ongoing labour uncertainty has had a significant impact on our customers and that they’ve had to adapt their business operations. This is not the position we wanted to put them in. Our intent has always been to reach negotiated agreements that will enable us to move forward and better serve Canadians and Canadian businesses.

We will keep customers informed about the results of the vote so they can prepare and plan accordingly. We remain committed to providing service that our customers can rely on and being the delivery partner they need.
