CUPW Presents New Global Offers to Canada Post

Cision Canadaa day ago
OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, negotiators for the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) returned to the bargaining table with Canada Post to present global offers for both postal bargaining units. With the help of Federal mediators, further talks are scheduled for Friday, August 22, and Monday, August 25.
CUPW's latest offers come after postal workers decisively rejected Canada Post's "best and final offers" in a government-forced vote in July.
"The Union remains committed to reaching negotiated settlements at the bargaining table," says Jan Simpson, CUPW National President. "CUPW's global offers provide Canada Post practical and workable solutions to expand its services and grow its revenues, while also ensuring postal workers' contributions to an important part of Canada's national infrastructure are valued."
Key elements of our latest offer include:
Wage increases to make up for the cost-of-living crisis;
Targeted increases in the number of corporate vehicles for Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers. No worker should have to risk their safety or pay out of pocket just to do their job;
Staffing changes in postal facilities to lessen Canada Post's overreliance on temporary workers who don't have stable schedules or benefits;
Scheduling changes to ensure letter carriers can have a work life balance without overburdening; and
We are putting forward proposals for CPC to expand services and grow the business, making the corporation stronger and more sustainable for the future.
"As CUPE flight attendants have made so visibly clear, the best deals are reached at the table," adds Simpson. "CUPW is focused on ensuring good, stable jobs for all postal workers and strengthening the public post office."

UPGRADED HOUSING UNITS OPEN FOR LARGE FAMILIES IN REGINA Français

REGINA, SK, Aug. 21, 2025 /CNW/ - Large families in need of affordable housing now have greater access to a home thanks to a $3.35 million investment by the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan to rebuild six rowhouse units at Regency Gardens. Each accessible, family-friendly unit includes six bedrooms and is specifically designed to accommodate larger households. Situated near schools, public transportation, support services and daycare, these units are placed in a supportive environment, with the aim to help families connect with and become an active part of the community. Funding for the development of these units was provided through the Canada's National Housing Strategy's Community Housing Initiative (CCHI). This investment and the repair and renewal of these units responds to community need for affordable housing options for larger families. The units are located at Regency Gardens, a social housing community with 123 units of various types providing an important source of family rental units within the Regina Housing Authority portfolio. Quotes: "Our Government is proud to support this initiative, part of our ongoing efforts to build strong, affordable communities across the country. Regency Gardens will make a real impact on lives in Regina, and it's another step forward in our bold, ambitious plan to build Canada strong." – The Honourable Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada "The Government of Saskatchewan recognizes the growing need for housing that accommodates larger families. We are proud to see this project completed; it represents our ongoing commitment to expanding housing options for families and individuals across the province. These new units will provide six families a strong foundation to build their future." – The Honourable Terry Jenson, Minister of Social Services and Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC).
