Jobs minister meets with Canada Post union reps as overtime ban persists
A Canada Post worker arrives for work in Montreal on Tuesday, Dec.17, 2024. Union officials are meeting with Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu in Ottawa on Friday. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christinne Muschi Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu is meeting with postal union officials in Ottawa today amid an overtime ban and declining mail volumes at a beleaguered Canada Post. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says the afternoon sit-down is going ahead with secretary of state for labour John Zerucelli present as well after on-and-off negotiations resumed Wednesday. Canada Post presented its 'final offers' to the union representing 55,000 workers earlier this week, with concessions including an end to compulsory overtime and a signing bonus of up to $1,000. But it stuck to a proposal for a 14 per cent cumulative wage hike over four years and part-time staff on weekend shifts — a major sticking point in the talks. The Crown corporation said this week it logged nearly $1.3 billion in operating losses last year, raising further questions about its business model as letter volumes plunge and fears of a second strike in six months persist. The union says rallies are planned across the country on Saturday. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 30, 2025.

Canada Post, union set to meet on Sunday as overtime ban stretches on
People walk past the Canada Post facility in Mississauga, Ont., on Thursday, May 22, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette OTTAWA — 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. Canada Post has warned of delays in mail service after the union issued a national ban on workers taking overtime late Thursday — stopping short of a full strike.
