Majority of CUPW-represented employees reject Canada Post's final offers Français
Corporation evaluating next steps following vote outcome OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 1, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) has informed Canada Post that a majority of employees represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have voted to reject the Corporation's final offers to both the Urban and RSMC (Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers) bargaining units. This means negotiations between the parties remain unresolved. While we are disappointed in the results, we want to thank employees for participating in the process. We would also like to thank the CIRB for administering the vote. This result does not lessen the urgent need to modernize and protect this vital national service. However, it does mean the uncertainty that has been significantly impacting our business – and the many Canadians and Canadian businesses who depend on Canada Post – will continue. We are evaluating our next steps. TM Trademark of Canada Post Corporation.

Article content OTTAWA — Unionized workers at Canada Post are entering their final day to vote on the Crown corporation's latest contract offer. Article content Voting is set to wrap up today at 5 p.m., with results expected to be shared shortly after. Article content Article content If workers reject the offer, the union says it will immediately contact management and invite them to return to the bargaining table, but it says further strike or lockout actions could risk the government intervening with back-to-work legislation or a binding arbitration order. Article content The vote, which opened July 21, is being administered by the Canada Industrial Relations Board, which stepped in after federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu intervened in the labour dispute. Article content The union has said a strong no vote would not only reject the offer, but also protect the integrity of the bargaining process. Article content

Porter Cabin Crew File Union Application With CIRB
OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Porter cabin crew, with the support of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), have filed an application with the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to certify a union to represent approximately 1,200 cabin crew at Porter Airlines. 'Porter cabin crew work hard to keep the public safe in the air and on the ground,' said CUPE National President Mark Hancock. 'They deserve a best-in-class contract and union representation, and that's exactly what they will get with CUPE.' After the CIRB has reviewed the application, they will issue a decision on whether CUPE will become the legal bargaining agent for Porter cabin crew. If successful, Porter cabin crew will have the full resources of Canada's largest union – and Canada's largest flight attendant union – at their disposal. 'Porter is an amazing Canadian success story, and cabin crew deserve to share in that success,' said CUPE National Secretary-Treasurer Candace Rennick. 'By voting to form their union with CUPE, Porter cabin crew are ensuring they have a strong voice in the workplace to keep making their jobs even better.' CUPE represents 18,500 cabin crew at airlines large and small across the country. For the past 40 years, CUPE has worked with flight attendants to raise the bar across the industry, with better wages and health and safety protections, improved cabin air quality standards, better premiums for extended duty days, and an end to restrictive and often discriminatory uniform and grooming policies. :vm/cope491

Statement: Canada Post's employees to have the opportunity to vote on final offers after 18 months of negotiations with CUPW Français
OTTAWA, ON, June 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Canada Post has received notice that the Minister of Jobs and Families has approved its request for a vote to take place on the company's final offers to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), using her authority under section 108.1 of the Canada Labour Code. The vote will be administered by the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) as soon as possible and will give employees in the Urban and RSMC (Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers) bargaining units the opportunity to have their say on Canada Post's final offers. We stand ready to work with the CIRB to prepare for the vote and will share details as soon as they are available. We welcome the Minister's decision as it will provide employees with the opportunity to have a voice and vote on a new collective agreement at a critical point in our history. This ratification vote comes as the parties remain at an impasse after 18 months of negotiations, a national strike and an Industrial Inquiry Commission which detailed the challenges we face, and what needs to be done to begin addressing them. A negotiated agreement between the parties has always been the preferred path to an employee ratification vote; however, the parties remain at a major impasse. Canada Post presented final offers to employees in the Urban and RSMC bargaining units on May 28, 2025. The vote will take place on these offers.
