Postal Strike

Canada Post, union set to meet on Sunday as overtime ban stretches on

May 25, 2025 | 9:46 AM

Canada Post says it is set to meet with negotiators from its union today as a national ban on overtime for postal workers stretches through the weekend.

A spokesperson for the postal service says today’s meeting will be the first of the weekend.

A mediator will be on hand to work with the parties.

The meeting comes a few days after Canada Post presented its latest offers to the union, which included a hike in pay and plans to roll out a fleet of part-time workers.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has yet to offer a formal response to the proposals, but its request for a two-week “truce” to consider the deal was rejected by the employer.
