He said that even if a strike could be organised, it is not clear it would achieve the union\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n<p>The federal government had previously encouraged both sides to agree to binding arbitration, which CUPW supported but Canada Post opposed, arguing it would delay negotiations. Both King and Savage told CP that arbitration is unlikely to deliver the sweeping changes Canada Post is seeking.<\/p>\n<p>Canada Post\u2019s financial challenges have been a central issue in negotiations, according to the report posted in <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/11318514\/canada-post-offers-rejected-what-next\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Global News<\/a>. An Industrial Inquiry Commission report earlier this year found the postal service was effectively bankrupt and in need of substantial reform. Savage told CP that the federal government may consider restructuring Canada Post\u2019s mandate after the current dispute is resolved, potentially expanding community mailboxes or ending daily door-to-door delivery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A national overtime ban, in place since late May when CUPW entered a strike position, will remain in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[49,48,1848,34169,44,34168],"class_list":["post-49963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canada-post","tag-canadian-union-of-postal-workers-cupw","tag-news","tag-strike"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
