Canada Post has shown us once again that it is not serious about bargaining in good faith.

Despite members’ decisive rejection of Canada Post’s “best and final offers,” the Corporation has refused to move from its so-called “final offers” of May 28, 2025. The Employer has not even bothered to provide a meaningful response to the comprehensive proposals submitted by CUPW on August 20.

Instead, Canada Post demands concessions from postal workers, while ignoring solutions CUPW has put forward that would address service needs, improve working conditions, and secure the future of the postal service for the public. 

Postal workers have been clear: we are not here to make concessions that erode jobs, rights, or the public service.

If Canada Post is serious about reaching agreements, it must stop insisting that only CUPW move and begin engaging seriously with the Union’s proposals. Negotiations require both parties at the table, not one side dictating terms and demanding that workers pay the price for Management’s failures. 

CUPW remains committed to achieving negotiated collective agreements that strengthen the postal service and respect postal workers. We call on Canada Post to finally engage in genuine bargaining rather than simply issuing press releases that misrepresent the reality at the table.

In solidarity,
