Canada Post Strike: New Proposal Amid Layoffs
Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) are in an ongoing strike that started on November 15, impacting over 55,000 workers due to disputes over wages and working conditions. Canada Post has presented a new framework to CUPW to restart negotiations, aiming to reach an agreement before the holiday season, while also laying off some striking workers temporarily. The union has criticized these layoffs as an intimidation tactic and filed an unfair labour practice complaint, arguing it violates the Canada Labour Code. Canada Post denies this, claiming the layoffs are temporary and necessary due to the strike's impact on operations. The strike has significantly affected parcel deliveries, especially during the Black Friday weekend, with Canada Post reporting a decline in parcel handling. Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon has stressed the need for both parties to return to negotiations with urgency, as a special mediator has been unable to bridge the gap between the two sides.
